XF86Openserial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such device Logitech optical mouse: cannot open input device PreInit failed for input device "Logitech optical mouse"
I tried the recommended settings again after commenting out the Microsoft IntelliMouse section (I was trying to run with both), but got the same error messages I am using a stock kernel from the Woody CD distribution ls -a /dev/input shows mice I suppose I could use the adapter and plug it into the back of my processor where the Microsoft mouse is now installed. Right now it is plugged into a USB 1.1 port off of my keyboard -- David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jesse Hutton Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 1:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse pointer section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection You have to make sure that the right modules are loaded in the kernel in order to use usb devices. So, if you boot with the PS/2 mouse, you might have to load the modules by hand in order for it to work, otherwise they should load automatically (I'm assuming you're running the stock kernel).
