But, the trouble is that the PS/2 mouse driver has had so many problems under 2.1.X. I would suggest that you add the following line to your kernel configuration file, rebuild the kernel and see if it works. options PSM_NO_RESET There isn't much else you can try, apart from hacking the driver source yourself. The PS/2 mouse driver under 2.2 will be much better. If you can wait for it, upgrading your system to 2.2 will be the best way to go. If the above option doesn't work for you, and you still want 2.1.5 to recognize your mouse, contact me. I will send you patch which "forces" the psm driver to recognize the mouse (even if it isn't there). Kazu
