Re: XF86 wants a mouse file
Georg and Andy,
Alas, sorry to come back with bad news, and if you're
getting sick of this, I can't blame you, so am I.
Anyway, tried your suggestions with the following
results:
>Probably you can try to create a character device by
>mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63
This produced the answer: "mknod /dev/input/mice:
No such file or directory"
Now I know I was trying to *create* a file, but that
is the message I got.
>If you have /dev/input/mice, you should configure your mouse with
>gpmconfig so that it works on console.
It tells me: "gpmconfig: command not found"
locate gpmconfig gives me nothing
man gpmconfig gives me: "no manual entry for gpmconfig"
Am I doing something wrong here, or missing a point?
Again, sorry to come back with more negative news and if
you just want to forget about it, go ahead. I appreciate
all your help so far and may just reign myself to upgrading.
(If you do have ideas though, I would still be glad to hear
them.) Thanks again,
Mike
