Ok.. I lied. I'm trying to configure a usb trackpad, not a mouse. The trackpad can emulate a standard usb mouse though, so maybe the setup is the same. The trackpad has some extra features, such as a scroll arrow, but I'd be happy to just get it to work like a basic mouse for now.
The trackpad is a Cirque GlidePoint East Cat. I've found lots of info on the web about the PS/2 version of this device, but nothing about the USB version. I've used this trackpad with Red Hat in the past -- the trackpad was automatically identified at bootup and Red Hat did all the configuration. I'm using Debian (unstable) now and I don't know how to configure xfree86 to work with this device. Here is some output from dmesg about my trackpad: usb.c: USB device number 5 default language ID 0x409 Manufacturer: Cirque Corporation Product: USB GlidePoint host/usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 228 hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Cirque Corporation USB GlidePoint] on usb1:5.0 usb.c: hid driver claimed interface c41f96c0 usb.c: kusbd: /sbin/hotplug add 5 usb.c: kusbd policy returned 0xfffffffe Since the kernel sees the usb trackpad, I'm assuming my kernel is compilled with all the needed usb modules. So, I guess I just need to edit /etc/X11/XFree86Config-4. That is where I could use some help. This is what I see in /dev/usb: crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 32 Mar 14 2002 ez0 ... upto crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 47 Mar 14 2002 ez15 and crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 16 Mar 14 2002 mouse0 ... upto crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 26 Mar 14 2002 mouse15 Is /dev/usb/ez0 or /dev/usb/mouse0 my trackpad? If so, how can I use this info to specify an input device in my XFree86Config file? Thanks for any advice!!!
