Thats quite usual afaik. psaux is you ps2 mouse (you can only open it once, so you have to use the gpm repeater and /dev/gpmdata if you want to use it both in the console and X). The input/mice under 2.4.22 is the usb mouse. This can be opened multiple times, so you can use it both in X and the console without repeating it. Under 2.6 all mice go to /dev/input/mice, the ps2 one also goes to /dev/psaux (you could get a hyper sensitive mouse this way, drove me crazy with the touchpad). I think you can also access indevidual mice in /dev/input/mouse<n> > Thanks, James > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
