Hey everyone...this is my first posting here, and I may not be going about
this the right way so please forgive me if I am not. I had a question
regarding the status of the code for the ImExPS/2 style mice.
I currently have a Nexxtech NXX200 PS/2 Optical Wheel Mouse, running kernel
2.6.13.4. I noticed that prior to the 2.6.x.x series (whilst in the 2.4.x.x
series (I was stubborn)), that my mouse was working fine.
Now, however,if I plug my mouse in, the optical light comes on for perhaps
half a second, and the mouse goes dark. The second thing that happens is if
you click either button, or move/click the scrollwheel, the cursor will go to
the upper right hand corner of the screen to where you only see a small
fraction of it. This happens in both console mode and in graphical.
I have included the results from what dmesg displayed when I connected the
mouse to the computer, as well as some of the output from /var/log/messages:
input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1

Oct 18 06:54:29 scooby kernel: input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1
Is this something that is being addressed in the 2.6.14 kernel? Or is there
perhaps currently a patch available so that I can use my mouse? I would
really not have to go by another one if I can help it.
Thanks in advance,
James
