Subject: [PATCH] mouse info in 2.6.1-rc1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi there...
I don't really know if this is only in -rc1-mm1 but I suppose -rc1 is affected also.

The new changes about synaptics (I think that it was it) made that we don't have
anymore a boolean (selectable) option in Device Drivers -> Input Device Support
- -> Mouse Interface;
Although, it we so to the "non-selectable" option Mouse Interface, the help info
exists and talks about "slect it if...", so...

Please apply the patch:

Look closer, particularly at this bit:

tristate "Mouse interface" if EMBEDDED
^^^^^^^^^^^
