I finally got my 3100 connected back together with a monitor and
have verified that I have the same problem.
I looked at it a bit last weekend, and it appears that I'm not
even getting any data from the mouse at all. [I've got a printf
in the serial interrupt code, and can see interrupts from the keyboard,
and both serial ports, but not the mouse port.] It works OK with an
older kernel, so I know it's not a bad mouse. My guess at this point
is perhaps the serial channel for the mouse is either not getting
set up correctly, or something is disabling the serial channel.
I've looked at the changes in the serial driver, but haven't been
able to see anything obvious yet.
