Hello
Problem is since Slackware 10.1, now with 10.2.
My logitech mouse USB with interface PS2, connected to PS2 not working
in X's - i've tried /dev/psaux /dev/mouse /dev/ttyS0 and 1 in
xorg.conf. Still not working. But connecting to USB give good effect.
I don't want to use my mouse with USB so how to solve this problem?

Regards
Radek / Poland

First of all, not all USB mice are possible to use together with an USB to
PS/2 adapter. However, assuming that your mouse does work with such an
adapter I would check the following:

Do you have a kernel which was compiled with
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
?

If you have the above in your kernel you should be able to use /dev/psaux.
Usually, during installation Slackware makes a symbolic link from
/dev/psaux to /dev/mouse, so it might be possible to use /dev/mouse also.

Also you might possibly need in xorg.conf

Option "Protocol" "PS/2"

although "auto" should pick it up, but you never know. :-)

I had the same problem when I installed Slackware 10.2 this weekend.
But I then installed the 2.6.13 kernel and set the Driver option to
'Auto' in xorg.conf
It works at last...
