Description of problem: With the 2.6 kernel, the pointing device (mouse, trackball, etc.) needs to change from using /dev/psaux to /dev/input/mice. Update system-config-mouse to do the necessary updating.
system-config-mouse isn't run automatically, so I'm pretty sure that's not the right place for it.
When I first booted up the new kernel that did not have psaux, "something" invoked mouse configuration. Whether this was system-config-mouse or something else, I do not know. The "hard part" is that apparently system-config-xfree86 put /dev/psaux into /etc/X11/XF86Config. If this had been "/dev/mouse", then it would be a simple matter of changing the symbolic link for ->psaux to ->input/mice Fixing things up so they work in a future test and final distribution for an upgrade is not going to be easy.
I just checked today's round of updates and it includes an updated system-config-display. This may fix the mouse reconfiguration that was the objective of this bug report ... that does not mean that changes are not necessary to system-config-mouse but that my specific problem may have benn for another package is is already fixed. Once I get the new round downloaded and installed, I will set stuff package the way it originally was and try again to see if this will handle things.
Nope. Whatever system-config-display changed, it does not fix the mouse problem. When the error occurs, you are lead through a bunch of panels which dows invoke mouseconfig. However, that does not fix things.

You close 116180 (against system-config-display) as a dup of this report (against system-config-mouse). I am not sure that is the case. This package should be changed to set mouse->input/mice instead of mouse->psaux. Even if that setting is made manually, system-config-display still sets /dev/psaux. system-config-display should be chaged to use /dev/mouse
Both system-config-mouse and system-config-display use the list of mice that comes from rhpl so they are dupes of each other. Actually, this bug should be filed against rhpl. Changing components.

Also, I'm taking this out of RFE status. It's more of a critical bug rather than an RFE. I will try to fix this today.

Should be fixed in Rawhide as of today. This touches libxf86config, rhpl, anaconda, and system-config-display.

I'm confused. Changing from /dev/psaux -> /dev/input/mouse didn't work. Changing to /dev/input/mouse0 did work. How is this thing supposed to be setup? What is /dev/input/mouse? What is /dev/input mouse0? Here are mine, are the correct? ls -l /dev/input/mouse crw------- 1 root root 10, 149 Feb 23 16:02 /dev/input/mouse [nbecker@rpppc1 ~]$ ls -l /dev/input/mouse0 crw------- 1 root root 13, 32 Feb 23 16:02 /dev/input/mouse0
You want /dev/input/mice - it's the multiplexor for /dev/input/mouse0,1,2... There is no /dev/input/mouse.

I have changed XF86Config to use /dev/input/mice and still X does not see the mouse. While it shows up in the log file, it doesn't do anything.
