Kernel 2.6 and wheelmouse

[Fraser Campbell]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my desktop to the 2.6 kernel (test7).  Things are working 
fine with a couple of exceptions.

Most annoying is my wheelmouse.  It took me a while to get the mouse working 
at all but now it works, just not the wheel.  It's a logitech cordless mouse.  

X wouldn't work at all when I booted (couldn't find core pointer), I futzed 
around and found a combination of modules that would let X load but the mouse 
still didn't work though the pointer loaded.  Eventually I found a module 
called psmouse and loaded that, now using /dev/psaux instead of 
/dev/input/mice the mouse works ... behaves fine, 3 buttons work, just no 
wheel.

Here are the modules I'm using that I think are relevant:

    usbkbd                  7296  0
    usbcore               106708  3 ehci_hcd,hid,usbkbd
    psmouse                16780  0
    mousedev                9696  1

Here's the pointer part of my X config:

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
    EndSection

Any ideas?

Other problems but not major issues:

- dhcpd does not run, it exits complaining "Unrecognized kernel version"
-  kernel: process `named' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT

I can do without dhcpd for now and named still works despite the message being 
logged.
