Re: USB Mouse, GPM and Kernel 2.4
I was the one with the ES1371 problems, I tried to start from scratch by
compiling 2.4.16 myself and now my soundcard works fine. Only difference
seems to be that I now have an audio codec module loaded, didn't have
that under 2.2.18.
I don't have a /dev/input directory, am I missing a package? (devfs?)
I haven't tried /dev/usbmouse under X but I will do.
