First list the modules using
lsmod | grep -i ps2
Most touch pads use the ps2 interface
Actually, I compiled 2 custom kernels so that my wireless would work.
1 with the ps2 mouse and one without the ps2 mouse. I hate the touch
pad so much I don't even want a module that could accidentally be
installed into the kernel.
My Logitech wireless mouse works like a charm.
