Well, you should check dmesg when you plug your mouse to see how exactly it is recognized, then use "cat" in the file that represent your mouse (you're pointing to /dev/input/mice at xorg.conf, mine is /dev/mice) and move the mouse, if you get garbage at the console while moving it, its the right file and your mouse is working, so you just need to get the right protocol (I went testing all of them till I find the one, auto never did it for me). > I can't find any info on what to do to set the new mouse correctly > Can anybody please help > Thanks > Paul > -- > This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
