I suspect you need these options in your kernel: |
| 22 |
Device Drivers |
| 23 |
Input Device Support |
| 24 |
Event Interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I also have: |
| 27 |
.. |
| 28 |
Mice |
| 29 |
PS/2 Mouse |
| 30 |
and all the sub-options compiled in: |
| 31 |
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y |
| 32 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y |
| 33 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y |
| 34 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y |
| 35 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y |
| 36 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=y |
| 37 |
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y |

that's nice to know. Just so this email is accepted by your security |
| 43 |
policy, I double-rot13'd the reply. Note that your comments are now |
| 44 |
quadruple-rot13'd, but I think you should be able to decrypt them |
| 45 |
without too much hassle. |
