[SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

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.

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

Fixed. It was a faulty MS mouse...

Also, PS/2 needs no special configuration, just plug it in and it should work.
