Hi, thanks for help ,but I am still not able to get the usbmouse to work . Here is what all I have done . I loaded input,mousedev,usbcore,usb-uhci,and hid modules . I can see the red light in the mouse but it does not work . I already had /dev/input/mice and my XF86Config-4 file points to /dev/input/mice. I have attached my XF86Config-4 file along with this mail ,if that helps ..
if I do "cat /dev/input/mice".it says . cat: /dev/input/mice: No such device I am relatively new to linux so pls bear with me. thanks suresh --- Matthew Weier O'Phinney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -- suresh kumar sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote > (on Saturday, 04 January 2003, 12:20 AM -0800): > > Hi, > > I have been trying to install a logitech optical > mouse > > on my laptop through USB,but it does not work > > I have loaded input,usbcore,usb-uhci,and hid > modules > > .I get light on the mouse and when I check dmesg I > can > > see that it recoganises the mouse. > > "input0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB-PS/2 > > Optical Mouse] on usb1:2.0" > > but it does not work . > > I am using kernel 2.4.20 and have > CONFIG_HID_HIDINPUT > > option as yes . > You may also need the module "mousedev" -- otherwise > input doesn't know > what kind of input device it is or where to map it. > > Where is it not working? gpm?
