mouse PS2 wont work in Zenwalk

[hakim]

Newby question.
I have just installed Zenwalk and set the mouse as PS2. It was working with ubuntu. tried xorgconfig and entered ps2 still not working. When I check the dev for the psaux using the following
ls -l /dev/psaux

I get

/dev/psaux --> misc/psaux

I tried
ln -s /dev/psaux/dev/mouse
it says file already exists
Please help. I read that you should turn plug and play off in bios I did before installation it did not help.

Try to use IMPS2 option protocol. Edit in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf at Input Device Section
Add / modify the following line :

Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"

ln -s /dev/psaux/dev/mouse

I doubt about it. That command has an error syntax. The possible command is

# ln -sf /dev/psaux /dev/mouse

Thanks,
I had other issues with Zenwalk such as screen freezing when I have two windows (using keyboard shortcuts). So I changed back to ubuntu.
