Hi again,

unfortunately, when I turned on my computer today the mouse didn't
work again, don't know I, I didn't touch the BIOS or any other
configuration.
But in the meantime I tested appending psmouse.proto=imps to the
kernel boot parameters, which also didn't work for me. After reading
the source of drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c I recognized that
this parameter also takes the value "bare". I tried it, and this
works for me...at the moment at least, I don't know if it'll still
work when I turn on my computer tomorrow :) (ok, but this really
should work)
But know, I can't use the scroll wheel of my mouse. I'll try to dig
into this some more and get back here if I find a final solution.

P.S.: when reading drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c I recognized
that this parameter seems to exist for some special cases, e.g.
when the computer is connected to a kvm switch. And, guess what??
I'm using a KVM switch :))
