I lost the previous emails somehow (something got confused between going back and forth between RedHat and a Gentoo command prompt) so please bear with me if some of this doesn't make sense.
I tried the "Protocol" "PS/2" "Device" "/dev/mouse" "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Doesn't work. Same problem. I also tried copying over the mouse section of the XF86Config running well under RedHat. Again same problem. I also tried running XF86Config -configure and overwriting the normal /etc/X11/XF86Config with the new one created by XF86Config -configure. Same problem. The problem seems to be not the statements in the mouse section of my XF86Config file but rather that there is no /dev/mouse to begin with. All the right modules seem to be loaded at least as far as "lsmod -l" reports. How does the /dev/mouse link get created? I believe it is created by the mouse module but that is loaded already. Why is the /dev/mouse link not showing up? cat /dev/mouse doesn't work to test the mouse. The /dev/mouse link is just not there. I even tried creating the link inside the /proc directory through "ls -l /dev/mouse /dev/psaux" successfully creating the link but still the same problem. Gentoo just doesn't recognize my link or just doesn't create it. I don't which one it is. Any further ideas or input? I hope all this does not come down to reinstalling Gentoo. That would be an absolute pain. Thanks. Carlos -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
