I've often seen plain serial mice being declared as `PS/2'. It's a well-known bogosity that a kernel with a configured psm driver but no PS/2 mouse connected might jam the keyboard driver. (Both drivers plug into the same controller.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
