hi,
this page explains how to configure a logitech optical usb mouse (using
2.4.x kernel):
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s3.3.2
In short, use modconf to load the kernel modules. You need to
activate input.o and mousedev.o under "Input core support" section.
Then under "USB support" section, load
"Support for USB" (usbcore.o),
"Preliminary USB device filesystem" (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS),
"UHCI" or "OHCI",
"USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support" (CONFIG_USB_HID,
hid.o), and
"HID input layer support" (CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT)
and your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 should look like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
cheers,
Rodrigo
