I thought that those mice were usb. The use of /dev/input/mice would
seem to confirm that. Therefore do you have the usb hid driver compiled
into the kernel?
I'm not sure whether you can do it with a 2.2 kernel: I have a usb mouse
here and it works fine with 2.4.x kernels but I've never tried it with a
2.2 kernel.
