Mouse problem while booting - Slackware 10.0


I'm using Slackware 10.0 with kernel 2.6.7 from /testing.

Every time it boots, a symlimk /dev/mouse is created, pointing to /dev/psaux . But my mouse is located at /dev/ttyS0.

I red something about mouses and kernel 2.6.

1) An easy solution to this problem could be adding something like rm /dev/mouse; ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse to rc.local, but I *want* to know what's doing this problem - I want to know what my system is doing. I don't like this "solution", since it gets around the problem but doesn't solve it. Tsc.

2) A probably solution: I knew recently it appears that kernel 2.6 from Slack has an option of direct all input events of /dev/input/mice to /dev/psaux. Hasn't /dev/input/mice to capture events of /dev/ttyS0? How can I tell /dev/input/mice that /dev/ttyS0 is a mouse?

Have you got any other idea?

Tks.

If you are using 2.6.X i'm sure you're using udev too, try looking at /etc/udev if you can find out where the symlink is created. (I don't use it so i can't directly help you)
