The hardware is an opentec clone of a Sun Ultra 10, with a sun type 5 keyboard & sun mouse. The machine also has 2 ps2 sockets for keyboard mouse. The OS is Debian-sparc 3.0 r1. What I want to do is replace the crappy, worn-out sun mouse with a nice new optical ps2 wheel mouse.
Running od -x /dev/sunmouse outputs nice hexadecimal when I move the sun mouse. Running od -x /dev/psaux returns "no such device". cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV psaux returns "don't know how to make device "psaux" " rm psaux; mknod -m 600 psaux c 10 1 doesn't return any errors but od -x /dev/psaux still returns "no such device" The kernel is 2.4.18. I downloaded the kernel source for 2.4.22 and went through make xconfig, but I can't see any options particularly appropriate for enabling ps2 mice. dmesg returns, amongst other things mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice I tried posting this question to the debian-sparc list, which is where I learnt about the "od" command, and I've googled myself silly, but I'm obviously missing something. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I'd be really grateful. Amanda -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
