Linux 2.5.2-dj4

Linux 2.5.2-dj4

[Dave Jones]

This syncs up to pre2 (pre3 next time), and includes Vojtech's (and others)
input layer reworking to get it some more testing before it goes Linuswards.
Anyone with any input device (yes, even just a keyboard)
now has to enable this, and the relevant keyboard driver.

Some more bits are starting to trickle into Linus tree slowly,
hopefully some of the larger bits (filesystems, vm updates and the likes)
will go next.

Patch against 2.5.2 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

To extend this a little further, for a normal PS/2 keyboard and mouse
setup you need to enable the following options (or load the appropriate
modules):

Input device support  --->
	Input core support			(input.o)	
	  Keyboard interface			(keybdev.o)
	  Mouse interface			(mousedev.o)
	Serial i/o support			(serio.o)
	  i8042 PC Keyboard controller		(i8042.o)
	Keyboards
	  AT keyboard support			(atkbd.o)
	Mice
	  PS/2 mouse				(psmouse.o)

Note that you also have to change XF86Config and GPM to use /dev/input/mice
instead of /dev/psaux.
