7 buttons!  I can barely manage three.  And the wheel of course -- only 
graduated to a wheel mouse a few months ago and can't imagine how I 
managed before.  But if I pick up my sons n-button mouse, I always 
click all sorts of things by mistake.

Anyway, good luck with the mouse.  BTW, Have you solved the problem of 
getting a useful, non-US keyboard layout?  I have been unable to 
configure a keyboard that gives éêèç and so forth without losing ' or 
something else basic.  Not to mention the euro sign.  Perhaps this 
should be a new thread...

It's working now.  It was as simple as loading the module uhci_hcd.
Now the next challenge will be to configure the 7 buttons and the wheel.

Thanks,

I have a 660E (but not currently in the same country as me).  I had no 
problem with the usb mouse, using gpm and setting mouse to /dev/gpmdata 
and IntelliMouse -- as set out in Derrick (d'man) Hudson's advice 
(search google or archives here for that).  Sorry, I don't have the 
details here.  I can look next week if you don't solve it by then.

I did the following on Toshiba laptop with Logitech Marble Trackball:

USB Human Interface (Mouse/Keyboard
-
1) ref. http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html
2) configure kernel for HID in USB section; built in to kernel
ensure the following are set:
# Input core support
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
# USB support
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y

3) load new kernel
4) check that /proc/bus/usb/devices shows plugged in USB devices
5) cat /dev/input/mice
ensure that when the mouse is moved there is lots of
chars printed to the screen
6) ensure the USB mouse is configured (see XF86Config-4 in
appendix)
7) keyboard on USB port should just work
8) mousepad and keyboard on laptop should work simultaneously with
the external mouse and keyboard

Thinkpad 600E and usb mouse

2004-10-18 Thread Bernard Fay
Hello everyone,

I have a Logitech MX700 usb mouse attached to my thinkpad but I can't
get it to work.  

I thought that the module usbhid and usbmouse would have been enough but
no that doesn't make it work.

Do I need a cheese.ko to get it to work or what?

Any advise?

Thanks,
Bernard
