Hi,

I have an externel ps/2 wheel mouse and with kernel-2.4, having X configured
with imps2, the external mouse worked and touchpad behaved eratically. But
with kernel-2.6, it's the otherway around.
Any tips how I can use my external mouse again (and/or shouldn't psmouse
detect two mice in 2.6)?

Some outputs:
