Mouse problem with testing
I have a problem with a USB Genius KYE wheelemouse running on testing
beta4 i386. Basically it just moves up and down.
I have tried more different settings than you can wave a stick at
including making this troublesome mouse the only pointer as well as
combining it with a PS/2 one using SendCoreEvents.
I also tried taking the XF86Config from another older testing-based
machine and tweaking it as necessary for the video hardware.
The list of kernel modules loaded looks the same where input/usb/mouse
is concerned.
No problem running Knoppix on the same machine and the same mice
(tried two) work elsewhere.
There is also a PS/2 mouse and I notice that on other Redhat type
machines data appears on /dev/input/mice for the PS/2 mouse as well as
any USB mice yet this does not happen on the Debian machine.
So there is something different about whatever is behind /dev/input/mice
but I can't find any useful documentation on it.
Any ideas ?
Jon
