An "ls -l /dev/mouse" shows that /dev/mouse is linked to /dev/input/mice.
In dmesg there is:-
PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly. serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all miceThat looks OK to me, so why doesn't the mouse work?
Is it in X that it doesn't work?
Check you've got a suitable InputDevice directive in your xorg.conf file. Mine looks like this:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "synaptics" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
What distro did you say it was? In Debian you can re-configure your X server with something like:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and it'll do some things automagically.
