Re: Installing Mouse Driver

[Bill Leach <bleach@bellsouth.net>]

After you do the 'insmod' then do o a 'cat /proc/modules' and you should
see an entry like:

psaux              1            1

which indicate that the mouse module is indeed loaded and known to the
kernel.

For gpm to work you need either:
/dev/psaux (or /dev/mouse and a link from /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux).
root@gandalf:/# gpmconfig
Configuring gpm (mouse event server):

Current configuration: -m /dev/mouse -t ps2 -r 70
Do you want to change anything (Y/n)? n

Listing of /dev/psaux and /dev/mouse:
bash-2.01$ ls -l /dev/ps*
crw-------   1 root     sys       10,   1 Mar 28 16:38 /dev/psaux

bash-2.01$ ls -l /dev/mou*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           10 Nov  1 16:53 /dev/mouse ->
/dev/psaux
