I have been trying to hook my 600X up to some external
devices this week-end and have run into some trouble
with the mice.

As most 600 users are aware, the TP 600 series cannot
use a keyboard in its sole PS/2 slot. Because of this,
I went out and bought myself a USB keyboard. I'm
trying to keep down on extra gear for traveling and so
I tried using a PS/2 wheel mouse. Unfortunately, when
connected to my laptop's port, neither the wheel nor
its button works in X.

Next, I tried connecting a USB mouse to the one USB
port and found that when doing so, the wheel and third
button work flawlessly. Next, I tried connecting the
USB mouse into the PS/2 port with an adapter. Result:
the third button works but the scroll wheel does not.

After doing a bit of googling, I discovered that this
seems to be a bit of a problem with tps. Has anyone on
the list successfully configured a thinkpad to use an
external ps/2 wheelmouse?

FWIW, I'm using XFree 4.3 and Debian sid. I've
attached my config file of the moment. I've tried
using /dev/input/mice but that hasn't solved anything.

Ideally, I'd prefer to just hook up the mouse to the
USB port but my machine only has one :-(
