usb mouse
 

been looking for a site or a how-to that explains how to set up a usb (in this case, a mouse) from scratch - kernel on up. i've found fragments, but nothing that really gives me anything concrete to go on. anyone have a site?

This might help you get started for the mouse:

I tried looing for a general USB howto a while ago but I couldn't find one either. Maybe someone ought to start writing one.
