Little Help?

A couple of things to check:
1) The mouse works somewhere else (seriously ... It's happened to me)
2) `cat /proc/interrupts` check for anything NOT a PCI device sharing.
    PCI devices can share them tho, so that's okay.
3) Make sure the block device "/dev/psaux" exists. Also, check to make
    sure it's not in "/dev/misc/psaux" due to DevFS being loaded. If it
    does, try `cat /dev/psaux` to see if you get output.
4) Check which mouse driver X is trying to use. Always helps.

Anyways, I'm kind of out of ideas. Tell me how that works out for ya.
