Re: Talk to mouse || ID a mouse
I may have fixed it. I had to press 4 buttons, and hold them for several minutes. To turn it on, pull widget down, or towards me. I had 2 mouses running at the same time.

From memory you can reference a specific mouse as /dev/wsmouse0 or /dev/wsmouse1 but there is also a /dev/wsmouse that merges all the mouse inputs together. /dev/wsmouse is normally what the X server references which allows you to use any mouse on the system. I'd be astonished if this didn't just work assuming you have USB HID support compiled into your kernel (its in GENERIC and has been for years). Most USB mice are of this type (wired and wireless) as it means they work out of the box on pretty much every operating system under the sun. Other things to check: 1. Is the mouse turned on? (they usually have a sneaky power switch on the underside). 2. Is the battery inside the mouse okay? From a quick check with mine I still get the ums device even with the mouse turned off but obviously it doesn't make the pointer move. Mike
Re: Talk to mouse || ID a mouse
UH KAY. Found this: port 7 addr 9: full speed, power 98 mA, config 1, USB Receiver(0xc52b), Logitech(0x046d), rev 12.11(0x1211) port 8 powered port 9 powered port 10 powered port 11 addr 10: full speed, power 98 mA, config 1, USB Receiver(0xc52b), Logitech(0x046d), rev 12.03(0x1203) port 12 powered How do I make X talk to it? I think "port 11 addr 10: ... " is the new mouse. On Sat, Jul 15, 2023 at 8:15 AM Todd Gruhn wrote: > > UG!!! > > I just looked; I found it.
