Looks like it. Had me running in circles the first time. Do you have a usb mouse? /dev/input/mice is only for usb mice under kernel 2.4 (under 2.6 its all mice). If its a usb mouse make sure all the drivers are loaded. you can try to do cat /dev/input/mice and move the mouse. If it is functioning you will get gibberish on screen when you move the mouse. If you have a ps2 mouse use /dev/psaux and serial mouse is in /dev/ttys<n> with n something between 0 and 3. The same method with cat on the device file and moving the mouse will let you know if its generating signals on that device. > albatross > > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: Micha Feigin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] conto di Micha Feigin > Inviato: sabato 14 febbraio 2004 20.47 > A: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Oggetto: Re: Sony VAIO PCG-V505CP > > > On Fri, Feb 13, 2004 at 10:59:46PM +0100, albatross wrote: > > I just finished Debian Sarge.
