New Kernel, Mice don't work in old kernel

[Stupid Boy]

I have Slack 10.0. I haven't updated it enough to make it current yet because I just installed it last night (about three hours ago).

I compiled the 2.6.9 kernel from kernel.org.

I have a PS/2 M$ IntelliMouse and a USB M$ IntelliMouse.

When I entered runlevel 4, I got no error messages, but I could not move the curser.

I switched back to the 2.4.26 kernel that came with Slackware that was working with the same xorg.conf, but the mice still didn't work.

What's wrong, and how do I fix it?

Thanks

In your xorg.conf file look for a section that looks like the following:

# ****************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# ****************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"


When I switched to the 2.6 kernels I had to change the "Device" line from
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
to
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Try it and see if it works. HTH
