Re: Changing from a PS/2 mouse to a USB mouse?
Hi there,
The first thing I did, was to upgrade the kernel to Woody's latest 2.4.x
release, and thus get the latest USB support. <q'n'd hack alert>I then went
through a simple process of adding the following lines to /etc/init.d/gpm:
insmod input
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-uhci
insmod hid
</q'n'd hack alert>
Then I made the input folder in /dev just like you would a normal folder,
and then cd'ed into it. Next I typed:
mknod -c 13 63 mice
Finally I edited the device line in gpm and also the setting in
XF86Config-4 for the new device location.
Best,
Tim
