Hmm... well, first check to make sure you have PS/2 mouse support compiled
in or modularized. If it's modularized, make sure that the module is
loaded. Then, do a ls -l /dev/mouse, and make sure that it's a symlink to
/dev/psaux. If all that's true, make sure you actually have a PS/2 mouse
*grin*

I remember a little while ago someone mentioned on the list the same
problem, and it was because the mouse module wasn't loaded.
