Upgrading to 2.6.8 from 2.4
I have recently upgraded my kernel to the 2.6.8 AMD K7 package, and i now have no mouse support in X Windows. I get an error message saying that /dev/psaux doesn't exist. I have heard that psaux was replaced by /input/mice but that doesn't exist either. Is it possible that this kernel wasn't compiled with PS/2 mouse support ? If so is there any way to fix it ?

I think: recompiling your kernel? In the meantime I'd return to your 2.4 version, if possible.

Upgrading to 2.6.8 from 2.4
I am running my 2.4 kernel right now. It's the only way i can run X Windows. I am trying to avoid compiling my own kernel as last time i did it totally trashed my system and i had to re-install. So i am trying to find a debian package that will work. Or some way to change the kernel after it has been compiled.

I fixed it, sort of
I managed to get my mouse to work, however, only if i run
modprobe mousedev
modprobe psmouse
after that the mouse works, but how can i get that to load on startup ?
