bash$ echo "Brett Campbell" <---- ?

here's mine:
brett@ThinkBox> lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
usb-uhci 23468 0 (unused)
mousedev 4340 1
hid 14120 0 (unused)
usbcore 70368 1 [usb-uhci hid]
input 3616 0 [keybdev mousedev hid]
so this involves
USB support -> Support for USB
USB support -> UHCI (Intel...) support
USB support -> USB Human Interface Device support
USB support -> HID Input layer support
[ USB support -> Preliminary USB device filesystem ]
[ USB support -> USB verbose debug messages ]
Input core support -> Input core support
Input core support -> Mouse support
follow the instructions from desktop guide. ie, plug in the device and make sure the
kernel saw it. cat(1) the device file and move the mouse around; you should see
garbage output. test it with gpm, or if you dislike gpm, modify xf86config to read:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "�Aye es mui fantastico!"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "Resolution" "1600"
EndSection
if you can't cat the device or it doesn't show up under /dev/input/, then yes, you
have profound problems. make sure your usb bridge is not broken and is at least
identified by lspci:
brett@ThinkBox> lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)

Hope this helps,

PS: the ascii art wasn't originally my idea; i took one off the 'net and spent
probably less than an hour making it cool ;-)
