When you say they don't, can you elaborate? With what application do they not
work that they did prior to using a 2.6 series kernel? Under 2.6 I had to
ensure I was loading the 'psmouse' module for PS2 mice to work at all. Under
2.4 the module name was something else, tripping me up. If you're using a
distribution kernel that probably doesn't apply.
