Not sure if you still have this problem. I had to do two things to get the mouse to work:
a) chown root XDirectFB (I had it compiled and installed in my user prefix) b) stop gpm (which apparently grabs the mouse and makes dfb unable to get it). I'm not sure why this causes a problem for XDirectFB when it works fine for regular X. Hope that helps, Thomas On Fri, 2003-08-08 at 12:03, Victor Berdin wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Where do you declare a mouse device when using XDirectFB?
