I have no problem with you breaking things in the developer trees either,
but I was talking about 2.2.17 which also appears to have the new input
stuff, and that's what bothers me. I already know I have to make a number
of changes to my system with 2.4 (devfs will probably be the first
stumbling block) but didn't expect major breakage with 2.2 kernels.

Neither gpm nor XFree (never used Xpmac) have the USB mouse working. I've
used /dev/input/mice, /dev/hidbp-mse-0, and the miscdev USB mouse device,
with various combinations of config options in the USB sections, to no
avail.
