asus P5A-B psaux problem

[Roach, Mark R.]

I have had no luck with ps/2 mouse on an Asus P5A-B mobo with newer
kernel versions, I have tried 2.4.12 and 2.4.13 with no luck. It works
fine with 2.2.19, though.

With 2.4.12 & 13 I get "Detected PS/2 Mouse Port." in dmesg only when
the mouse is not plugged in. Plug it in, no message of ps/2.

If anyone has any suggestions I would love to be able to use 2.4 kernel,
hopefully it is something stupid I have missed.

Are you sure the mouse is not working?  I also
have a P5A-B, PS/2 mouse and 2.4 kernel (many
versions).  I also get no dmesg about PS/2.  But
the mouse works fine!  Did you tell X windows
that you are using a PS/2 mouse?

In XF86Config (xfree86 version 4):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Default Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"   "/dev/misc/psaux" # something else for you?
        Option          "Protocol"   "PS/2"
EndSection

I hope this helps,

Duncan.

Yes, definitely sure that X is configured correctly (it works fine when
I boot with 2.2.19) I have also tried gpm, which works fine under 2.2,
and under 2.4.8 tells me there is no such device or address, and under
2.4.13 and 2.4.13-ac7 locks my keyboard and doesn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
