Re: USB Mouse, GPM and Kernel 2.4
I was the one with the ES1371 problems, I tried to start from scratch by compiling 2.4.16 myself and now my soundcard works fine. Only difference seems to be that I now have an audio codec module loaded, didn't have that under 2.2.18. I don't have a /dev/input directory, am I missing a package? (devfs?) I haven't tried /dev/usbmouse under X but I will do. -D On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 00:06, Cameron Matheson wrote: Hello On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 00:25, Didier Malenfant wrote: I'm switching to 2.4 to try and sort out some other problems (with sound).

For setting up your USB mouse take a look at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/c122.html http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x173.html http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html Also load kernel module mousedev.o, if it is not compiled into your kernel. I haven't tried /dev/usbmouse under X but I will do. I couldn't get my USB mouse to work with this device and use /dev/input/mice -D On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 00:06, Cameron Matheson wrote: Hello On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 00:25, Didier Malenfant wrote: I'm switching to 2.4 to try and sort out some other problems (with sound).

USB Mouse, GPM and Kernel 2.4
I'm switching to 2.4 to try and sort out some other problems (with sound). Under 2.2.18 my Intellimouse explorer would work with GPM, from what I gather the usbmouse driver would translate everything into a standard PS/2 format because gpm.conf was still using /dev/psaux and everything worked (even though the mouse was in the USB port). Under 2.4 this doesn't work. I tried to point gpm to /dev/usbmouse but no chance. Loaded modules are input, usbmouse and mousedev. What settings should I be using in gpm.conf and what modules need to be loaded? (I'm using /dev/gpmdata for X so if I get gpm working, X works) Thanks, -D

My USB mouse is /dev/input/mouse0. All (connected) USB mice can be accessed via /dev/input/mice (so if you have 2 plugged in, they both work transparently to the client code, this is nice for GPM since it doesn't support mulitple mice like X does). Of course, this is using devfs as well. I don't know the major/minor numbers to create a node for using a static /dev. /dev/psaux should only work for a PS/2 mouse. (btw, I never used usb in 2.2 kernels) I use the 'imps2' protocol (Logitech MouseMan Wheel) and it works great. | Under 2.4 this doesn't work. I tried to point gpm to /dev/usbmouse but | no chance.

Do you see a message on the console when you plug the mouse in? You should. It will tell you that a USB device was found and give some info about it. You should see a similar message when you unplug it. -D -- Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24
