2.5.73 Mouse
My mouse suddenly stopped working with 2.5.73. I am using a Synaptics Touchpad -- with comes with a Dell laptop. (I will test with an external mouse later).
The SERIO I8042 driver seems to find my mouse, interrupts are firing, and I enabled the old /dev/psaux so that userland doesn't see anything different. Most importantly, the same config worked with 2.5.72. I noticed that dmesg was slightly different across the two versions which suggests that something did change.

Option 1)
Use psmouse_noext option on the command line. This will restore the previous behavior easily and immediately.
Option 2)
Get the Synaptics XFree86 driver for 2.5 kernels from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
This will enable additional features with the pad, like palm detection, multitap gestures and more. It will also make the pad work, of course.

Not really an option - gpm isn't a X11 thing. I've even tested GPM's "synps2" protocol driver - doesn't work the tiniest bit:/

Well, it doesn't restore the old behavior. With Linux-2.5.n (n <= 72) I could do a fast double-press onto the pad to have a left-click. This doesn't work after supplying "psmouse_noext=1" to the module. Further more, Windowmaker's menus don't any longer automatically pop up - I have to press a mouse button to make that happen.
GPM (with "autops2" driver) works as before, though.
XFree uses "PS/2" as it's driver, directly using (legacy) /dev/psaux device...
I was quite okay with the old behavior (though I haven't tested XFree with the specialized Synaptics driver).

I've also got a Dell with a touchpad. With 2.5.73 neither touchpad or external mouse works at all.

This makes the mouse "work", but it's behaviour is completely whacky and completely uncontrollable.
The old behaviour was excellent for me btw, both for external mouse and the touchpad. Double-tapping worked as expected.
