Thanks for the report and the patch!  autops2 obviously works for many
people, so I wonder why it breaks on your kernel and mouse.  Looking at
the code, it seems as though if it breaks on your setup it should break
on everyone's.

Well, as may be ... I'll test it, and look at what the (2.6 kernel)
psmouse.c and mousedev.c do.  (Those two files implement both sides of
the PS/2 mouse detection protocol.)

Thanks again,
Peter
