[PLUG] kernel 2.6 and /dev/psaux

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.8 from 2.4.27.  But now I can't use X.
The issue is that /dev/mouse isn't a valid device.  Currently it
points to /dev/psaux.

Googling (in console-mode) I found that many people found that there
troubles ended with

    ln -s /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse

But /dev/input does not exist on my machine.

Any suggestions?


A related issue is that I note that dist-upgrade now wants to install
a new 2.4 kernel.  If I let it do that, I think it is going to want to
modify the /vmlinuz* links, which would take me back to kernel 2.4
next time I boot.  Any idea how to stop that from happening?
