This is probably caused by genpatches as vanilla kernel 2.6.19 still detect my ps2 mouse as gentoo-sources <= 2.6.18 do. When using gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1 instead only the other input devices (USB) are recognized , but the primary mouse on ps2 port isn't (nortek), and there aren't the corresponding /dev/input/mouseX and/or /dev/input/eventX files.
Attach your kernel .config here, as well as dmesg output, and reopen then.
Created attachment 103971 [details] kernel config Here the kernel config
Created attachment 103972 [details] dmesg Here the dmesg output. Please not that beside there's the wacom module there, is the one provided with the kernel as I didn't overwrited it (for testing purpose).
Reopened after providing the relevant infos. Still /dev/input/eventX corresponding to the PS2 mouse is missing, as /dev/input/mouseX .
same as mine id=158057

Created attachment 103980 [details] my .config
Created attachment 103981 [details] dmesg It shows /class/input/input0 created for keyboard but no /class/input/input1 for mouse like pre 2.6.19 kernels all do...
I found this topic posted which makes me wonder if It's even gentoo related. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2528055
vanilla-sources-2.6.19 detects and run fine my psmouse, so it's definitely gentoo-related, at least for me.

Created attachment 104067 [details] another .config with no mouse working on 2.6.19x
confirmed that vanilla-sources 2.6.19.1 mouse works fine so it is a gentoo-sources specific issue for me too.
Created attachment 104226 [details, diff] patch Please see if this patch changes anything
Patch fixed it! ThankYou
Created attachment 104405 [details, diff] new patch Thanks for testing! However that was more just confirming where the problem lies, I'd like to see it fixed in a slightly nicer way, if possible. Please try this patch. It's designed to be applied against clean gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r1, so if you tried the above patch make sure to revert it or start clean.
Yes new patch works fine too. Tested with both -r1 and -r2 Thanks

Daniel! I finally got around to trying this out on my home box and I have yet to be able to get either patch to work for me on either of the r1 or r2 kernels. No idea where to go from here. Both patches solved the issue on my boxes at the office but this box at home still doesn't work. Stuck using 2.6.18-r4
switched to usb mouse for now .. :o
Must be a separate issue then, please file a new bug with the usual info
Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r3 (genpatches-2.6.19-4)
