I have a noob question. How do i make a PS/2 mouse work on Arch?
As far as i know, PS/2 is not hot-pluggable so it has to be plugged in before start up.
The "psmouse" kernel module gets loaded but it isn't used by any device.
$ lsmod|grep ps
psmouse 54764 0
I tried setting Xorg to use /dev/psaux but it doesn't work. I also tried various protocols like auto, imps2, etc.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "imps2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
I also tried with evdev enabled and with evdev disabled and still no luck.
After three tries i gave up. Any tips on how to get this working or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Fixed. It was a faulty MS mouse...
Also, PS/2 needs no special configuration, just plug it in and it should work.
