debian: usb logitech mouse help with devfs required
I'm trying to get my USB Logitech optical mouse to work with my Pentium
machine. It is currently running a mixture of testing and stable
distros. I am currently using the latest kernel-image-2.4.x-k6 with
devfs and xfree86 from stable (ie. not version 4.x.x).
I have been searching the net and found links to devfs and usb. I have
since found out that my motherboard is an SiS board and requires the
OHCI USB driver. I have managed to load usb-core, usb-ohci, and
usbmouse drivers via modprobe. I can get the drivers to recognise my
mouse and it prints appropriate messages to the console when I plug the
mouse in and out of the USB port. I am expecting that devfs will show
/dev/input/mouse* and/or /dev/input/mice and/or /dev/usb/* entries but I
don't get anything. I can't point XF86Config to any valid mouse driver.
Can someone please point me in the right direction. How do I get devfs
to give me appropriate entries for my USB Logitech optical mouse.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
