Maybe it is pointing at the wrong file? This is my mouse link for my logitech (non-wheel) ps/2 mouse. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 19 21:29 /dev/mouse -> /dev/psaux -- Moritz Moeller-Herrmann mmh@gmx.net ICQ# 3585990 # Not only Get my public pgp / gpg key from # Open Source(TM) http://webrum.uni-mannheim.de/jura/moritz/pubkeymoritz # but also KDE forever!
