USB-Mouse... did I tried everything?
Hi list,
I've a Clevo 2200/2700c laptop with a logitech USB-optical mouse.
Seachring the web I found a few how-to's to get an USB-mouse working under
linux... I tried everyone ;-)
I've build a kernel (woody / 2.4.20 - vanilla source) with
Input core support
Mouse supoort
USB
OHCI
USBHID
static compiled into it.
I made the device with
mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63
But "cat /dev/input/mice", put out nothing. The cusor stands even when i
move the mouse.
I've compiled the Kernel with USB/input core support as modules - nothing
changes.
Syslog after loading the modules

Through the last line I guess that the mouse should work.
My Notebook hast a SIS-chipset, 2 USB connectors. On the other one, an
USB-HUB with some other devices is connected.
So my question is: Do I ever get an output if I "cat /dev/input/mice" as I
read.
Of'couse the mouse doesn't work on X either.

No changes, if I start gdm (with apropiate options).
I hope you can help me.
Thanks,
