[wellylug] Linux on Pavilion 4422 Problem

I've installed redhat 9 on my hp pavilion 4422, but it will not load the
x window system. When it goes into the graphical mode, it just keeps
changing the screen resolution, & eventually gives a error message & the
log.

The log has this section in it:

        (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux
                Device or resource busy.
        (EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device
        (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
        No core pointer


When the pc is loading, it also says that device /dev/psaux is used of
busy. I've tried mandrake 9.0 on this pc, & it works fine. I've also
tried redhat 8.0, which has the same problem.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?
