...because there is no /dev/usb/usbmouse0 after installing Mandrake
7.1beta2!!!
...and /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/input.txt says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
After this, the USB keyboard will work straight away, and the USB
mouse
will be available as a character device on major 13, minor 32:
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 32 Mar 28 22:45 mouse0
This device, has to be created, unless you use devfs, in which case
it's
created automatically. The commands to do that are:
cd /dev
mkdir input
mknod input/mouse0 c 13 32
After that you have to point GPM (the textmode mouse cut&paste tool)
and
XFree to this device to use it - GPM should be called like:
gpm -t ps2 -m /dev/input/mouse0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that /dev/input/mouse0 is equivalent to /dev/usb/mouse0 but,
after
install no one exist!!!!
