I don't think so. I think the advice mentioned here http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0505.2/0005.html of using /dev/input/mice is generally considered the Right Thing.
Well then, we need to fix the LFS rules file because the cd just uses the default rules from that. No changes have been made.
Hmm, kinda shot myself in the foot there didn't I!
bash-3.00$ ls -l /dev/input/* crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 63 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/input/mice crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 32 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/input/mouse0
bash-3.00$ ls -l /dev/mouse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/mouse -> input/mouse0
That's because of the following udev rules:
KERNEL="mice", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644" KERNEL="mouse*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644", SYMLINK="mouse"
So, would you livecd guys mind being guinea pigs for LFS? You should be able to just shift the "SYMLINK" argument up a line. Having said that, I've never used /dev/mouse - I always thought /dev/input/mice was the correct way of pointing apps at the mouse...is there an app that expects something else?
