[Bug 38031] ps/2 mouse not recognized on IBM X21 laptop

[bd]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Needs Info


Description:
Using Dapper Flight 5
Kernel: 2.6.15-19-386

I installed dapper on my laptop, and although the trackpoint mouse is
recognized, an external ps/2 microsoft mouse does not work. I am a linux
newbie.

dmesg | grep mouse gives me the following message:

"mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice"


I originally installed Breezy Badger, however, had trouble with it recognizing the integrated ethernet card, a bug related to ACPI module. So I tried Dapper.
