Thanks Dave, another reference worth noting but I'm seriously hoping 
not to have to get up to my elbows in muck and grease to get this 
working. That was a lot of the reason for looking at doing with the 
mouse module and hardware.

My major sticking point now is that, despite a recent update to the 
"full" debian image for ARM that corrected the 2.4.26-ts10 to 
moduless to -ts11, it seems the mousedev module is still bad.

:modules# insmod mousedev
insmod: mousedev: no module by that name found
:modules# ls /lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11/kernel/drivers/input/
input.o  keybdev.o  mousedev.o


input and keybdev load fine but mousedev is not seen as being a 
module.

does anyone have a working mousedev.o for the std kernel that they 
could post in the files section (or anywhere else)?

Again I dont want to spend days plugging around with cross compilers 
and rebuilding kernels just to fix this module.

If anyone can provide a working module it would be a great help.

TIA.
