Indeed.  My mouse stopped working with X telling me it couldn't see 
/dev/psaux.  I had to insert two modules (mousedev and psmouse) and (maybe?) 
download and build a telia driver for the synaptics touch pad on my laptop.  
I'm not sure I needed the driver, as I installed it b/f adding the two 
modules.

It would have been nice if the Debian 2.6 kernal configure scripts helped me 
with the two modules.  I'm going to file a wishlist bug, as this is going to 
be a common issue.

The only other issue I noticed is that all of a sudden the fonts are all a 
larger size.
