I'm trying to figure out how wireless mouse events get handled in linux. I currently have an older kernel (2.4) and the wireless keyboard works (PS/2) get handled properly, but the usb wireless mouse doesn't seem to work properly. I am not sure if I should expect the standard HID drivers to handle the movements/button presses, or should I use a special driver to handle the events? I don't have the typical X11 stuff in /etc to modify a .conf file, which I have seen on many posts.
I have written several linux usb drivers, and understand how touch monitor input events work (i.e. absolute inputs to input core), but I have never dealt with a wireless mouse. If I use a standard Dell usb mouse, it works fine and gets handled by hid-core.c. It appears the wireless tries to use this as well since I don't have any special drivers loaded to take control of the microsoft intellimouse. My questions are do I need a non-HID driver to handle this wireless usb mouse data, or is there another trick to get this to work. Thanks for anybody who may be able to help with this issue.
