I looked in the XF86Config file, and changed the Device and Protocol to "PS/2" and "/dev/psm0", but when the system boots, it does not look for any psm0 device. When I boot with the "-c" (configure) and try to "enable psm0", it tells me that psm0 does not exist. I heard something about having to "reconfigure the kernel". What's that? How do I do it? Will anybody get hurt? Thanks for all the help... Daniel
