my mouse is gone after a kernel compile?


I recompiled my kernel using .config from someone else who has the same machine and now I cannot get my mouse to work at all in the startup it says gpm fails because there is no /dev/mouse? I have used this .config to setup my machine for slackware 8.1 and other distros, all of them it has worked fine with and the mouse worked right away but now all of a sudden the mouse doesnt work?

Make sure you have /dev/mouse in your system. If not, symlink the port (/dev/ttyS0 etc) as /dev/mouse.
