PS/2 mouse not working

Hi all.

I can't seem to get a new PS/2 mouse to give any input on 2.6.11.6. I
have tried creating /dev/input/{mouse0,mouse1} apart from
/dev/input/mice as per numbers in Documentation/devices.txt, and cat
<device> gives no output when wiggling the mouse.

I have tried compiling psmouse as module and loading it, and I have
tried compiling it into kernel. I have also chosen to have a /dev/psaux,
that doesn't get any input either. Mouse seems to get detected, as per
this snippet from dmesg:

...
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
...
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1
...

Best regards,

Sune Mølgaard
