Hi,
unlike the 2.2 the new 2.3 kernel skip the probe for PS/2 Mouse
if the bios has already detected it, maybe this is good.
Skipping that function PS/2 Mouse is never showed during kernel
boot process.
I've wrote a simple patch that correct this and also show the
irq where available.
Patch is quite simple and tested only on i386 platform.
ciao,
luca
