No PS/2 mouse with Synaptics touch pad.

[Dan]

Howdy,
 I just updated my system to Core2 from Core1. I am running a Compaq 
Armada 110. In Core1 the Synaptics touch pad on the keyboard did not 
function but if I plugged in a PS/2 mouse it (the mouse) functioned 
fine. No big deal the built-in touchpad is a pain in the keister anyway. 
Since the update to Core 2 the Synaptics touch pad works AOK but when I 
plug in a PS/2 mouse the system does not recognize the mouse.... Any 
suggestions???
