Has anyone managed to get a USB mouse working on a Powerbook G4 on the console?
If yes: How did you do it? I have here a Logitech optical wheel mouse, and nothing so far seems to get it running on the console. Output in /var/log/syslog says (as it seems for disconnecting and then reconnecting the mouse to the USB connector): ---------------------- Jun 21 18:48:51 debby kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2 Jun 21 18:48:58 debby kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3 Jun 21 18:48:58 debby kernel: input4: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse on usb1:3.0 ----------------------- gpm 1.19.6-12 is installed gpmconfig says: -------------------- Device: /dev/gpmdata Type: imps2 Repeat_Type: raw -------------------- I *think* I had it connected to /dev/psaux before, but I'm not sure of that ... So far, none of the settings I tried got the mouse up and running Strange: At the end of gpmconfig I'm told by this routine that the mouse interface server : gpm is first stopped, then started, but all this without any error message. (Just once, IIRC, it said it could not see a gpm.pid (?) in some directory, or something like that) But when I do a ps -C gpm all I get is -------------------------- PID TTY TIME CMD -------------------------- Or, as another possibility to solve this: Is the Debian-Version I'm running -- 3.0 r1, stable -- so broken, incomplete, or whatever, that it will make sense to upgrade to testing? After all there are more things here that do not work. Could be very well that all this and other mess here is due to my lack of experience with Debian ... but if the stuff is simply buggy then please someone let me know ... Thanks in anticipation.
