I Compiled linux-2.6-test 11 but i i can't get my mouse working.
With 2.4.23 there is no problem.

this is my mouse config for 2.6

# cat .config | grep MOUSE
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y

Does anyone has an idea why my mouse ain't working?
thx

I needed USB

I had the same problem, but activating USB support solved it. I have EHCI, UHCI, full HID and mass storage support in the kernel but I think HID is the important one.
Yes, I find it strange why a PS/2 mouse needs USB.
I hope this helps.
