Hello, I have a Gyration cordless desktop+mouse plugged to my USB2 port (both work fine under Windows). The keyboard works fine but the mouse doesn't:
| Code: |
# uname -r
2.4.23-aes-evms
# tail -n 3 /var/log/everything/current
Dec 18 15:49:27 [kernel] hub.c: new USB device 00:03.0-1, assigned address 2

The problem I have is that /dev/usbmouse does apparently not record mouse movments:
| Code: |
# ls -l /dev/*mouse
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 17 21:44 /dev/mouse -> misc/psaux
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 12 Dec 18 12:35 /dev/usbmouse -> input/mouse0
# cat /dev/mouse
(û(ÿ8ýû8ÿü8þþ(ý8þý(ú8þþ8þú8ýü8ýû8þþ(ÿ
# cat /dev/usbmouse
#

Did I screwed anything ? |

I am using Logitech's cordless mouse/keyboard
although I do have /dev/usbmouse... I think its just a link to /input/mice
anyway for the mouse to work as I want in X I have
| Code: | Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |
As you might notice that I've got /dev/mouse. For me atleast /dev/mouse always works, regardless of the type of mouse, be it ps/2, usb wire/less.
Now depending your configuration of xorg.conf, you should first try replacing your /dev/usbmouse with /dev/mouse and see if it helps

Thank you for your reply; however I also have a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse, so that /dev/mouse actually links to /dev/misc/psaux which is my PS/2 mouse.
I have found the following:
| Code: |
# # Avoids auto-loading of USB keyboard driver
# echo keybdev >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist
# modprobe hid keybdev mousedev
# tail -n 4 /var/log/everything/current
Dec 19 11:57:13 [kernel] PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:03.2
Dec 19 11:57:13 [kernel] hub.c: USB hub found
Dec 19 11:57:32 [kernel] usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
Dec 19 11:57:58 [kernel] mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
# ls -l /dev/*mouse*
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 19 02:00 /dev/mouse -> misc/psaux
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 19 11:57 /dev/usbmouse -> input/mice
# cat /dev/input/mice # and start moving the mouse around
#

What strikes me is the
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice line. What does this mean ? |
