USB mouse in gpm + 2.4

[Jonathan Markevich <jmarkevich@mad.scientist.com>]

Has anyone used a usb mouse in kernel 2.4?  I'm running Woody and finally
got 2.4 running, hoping for its advantages.  I can't seem to get gpm to
recognize the mouse.

I found a page that recommends:
mknod /dev/mice c 13 63

And I also tried:
mknod /dev/input/mouse0 c 180 16

...as a test, based on devices.txt in the kernel tarball.  My /proc/devices
contains:

Character devices:
  1 mem
  2 pty
  3 ttyp
  4 ttyS
  5 cua
  6 lp
  7 vcs
 10 misc
 13 input
 14 sound
108 ppp
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
180 usb
195 nvidia
 
Block devices:
  2 fd
  3 ide0
  7 loop
 22 ide1

Ideas?  Thanks.
