Subject:  2.6.28 thinks that my PS/2 mouse is a touchpad

Hello.

Linux-2.6.28, as compiled by Arch Linux developers, thinks that my PS/2 mouse (a cheap M-BT58 optical wheel mouse by Logitech) is actually a touchpad. This makes it unusable. Adding the "proto=imps" parameter to the psmouse module helps.

Dmesg output and config are attached.
