I had the same problem and fixed it by editing the line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules that says:
Code:
/sbin/modprobe psmouse proto=imps
to read just:
Code:
/sbin/modprobe psmouse

Well I wouldn't go that far! Someone else pointed out that trick to me a few weeks ago. Happy Slacking!

The fact that psmouse has to be loaded with the kernel defaults is also in my recent thread about using synaptics on Slackware -current... :-)

A simple search of this forum with the word synaptics would have shown that this question has been answered many times.
