I'm going to try doing this myself soon.
I'm not much of a Linux expert, but I'm guessing I might have to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file slightly.
Currently one section is:
-----
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
-----I'm guessing
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
should become
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
I could be completely wrong of course. But I'll be trying it later on tonight.
Cheers, Tomasz Jaszkin

Hi Patrick,

I had this problem too, I got my PS/2 mouse to work by compiling a custom kernel. Under device drivers / input device support / mouse interface I checked "Provide legacy /dev/psaux device" after loading my custom kernel with that option enabled my mouse worked. HTH
thanks for this tip, I tried it but unfortunately it did not work for me. So I hope there'll be a working solution any time soon :-)
