this is the new input layer, you need to have a few other options turned on for it to work, such as: CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768 you will probably find more info about the input layer and usb mice on powerpc GNU/Linux sites such as penguinppc.org then anywhere. recent macs have no other option then usb input devices. the setup should be not much different from powerpc to x86. also check archives of debian-powerpc. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
