I've just moved from Linus 2.5.3 to 2.5.5-dj1.

I've tried the following both with modules and linked into bzImage.

I've tried pointing the software at /dev/input/mice and also at /dev/psaux
which I created as a symlink to /dev/input/mice (to maintain compatibility
with my working 2.5.3 setup)

I have a PS/2 mouse.

I've loaded mousedev.o and psmouse.o

gpm works. (**1)

cat /dev/input/mice
gives random binary spew that looks pretty much like mouse input.

When I run my Xserver, the mouse pointer doesn't move. If I then kill off
the Xserver, gpm doesn't work any more and cat/dev/input/mice doesn't
generate anything any more.

If I unload psmouse.o and then load it again, I am back to (**1) until I
load the Xserver again.
