I've recently bought a new PS/2 scrolmouse, for the princely sum of $2.
It doesn't work when plugged into my laptop, and occasionally
generates "unknown scancode" and random keys when used.
It's a "Browser Mouse" FCC ID: IOWCM-B700
Is there any logging tool I can use to debug PS2 problems?

Sounds like the mouse may be working. Double check that your laptop's
BIOS is a recent version as most of the laptops I poked at when looking
into the keyboard driver intercept all keystrokes and mouse movements
in an attempt to provide additional features.

In the early '80s, IBM published an official report about cleaning
mice balls. Dead mice are a different problem, though, because
dirty mice balls are not known to be fatal. ;^)
od -xa /dev/mouse should show you the mouse-stuff.

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be
attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del
was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.
