I just posted this in another thread, so I appologize in advance for the
double posting.
Setting up my Optical Intellimouse Explorer USB took a lot of trial and
error, but this should put you onto the right track:
I assume you are using the latest kernels 2.4.18/19.
Step 1: Make sure you have your kernel compiled so that all of your
input device drivers are compiled as modules and then list them
similarly to what is here (the ordering is important)
(root@hour)~$ cat /etc/modules
eepro100
ide-scsi
emu10k1
mousedev
keybdev
hid
input
usb-uhci
usbcore
Step 2: If you haven't yet, you will need to go into /dev and issue the
command:
(root@hour)/dev$ ./MAKEDEV input
...which will create
(root@hour)/dev/input$ ls -a
. .. event0 event1 event2 event3 js0 js1 js2 js3 mice mouse0
mouse1 mouse2 mouse3
Step 3: Setup your XF86Config-4 and your gpm.conf
(root@hour)/etc$ cat gpm.conf
device=/dev/input/mice
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=
(root@hour)/etc/X11$ cat XF86Config-4
