This doesn't sound like what I experienced so maybe my problem is
different.
Some background:
I had been running 2.1.0 but, due to a problem, the vendor of my
system sent a replacement disk with 2.1.5 installed. Now dmesg
says this about psm:
psm0: disabled, not probed.
And, of course, when I try to run X, it complains about the mouse
not being configured or something like that.
It (dmesg) used to say:
psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard
I'm not familiar enough with how this all works to figure out
what's going on so I will be very grateful for any help.
