Re: X-Windows Mice



As I like to tell people, there is a difference between stupidity and
ignorance.  Ignorant is a lack of knowledge, stupidity is an inability
to gain knowledge.

Now for ps/2 support.  The proper file is /dev/psaux ( pc auxillary
port).  You also need kernel support for ps/2 (aux).  Link dev/mouse to
dev/psaux and ensure you have kernel support.  Change the link back to
tty?? and you have serial support.  X does not care.
