Hi,

I see that the mouse seem to be detected properly... I wonder if some
of the extended probes confuse it. Could you try doing:

         rmmod psmouse
         insmod /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko proto=bare

and 

         rmmod psmouse
         insmod /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko proto=imps

And tell me if any of them work?

Thanks!
