I'm trying to get my USB mouse working on my Acer TravelMate 530 laptop, running Slackware 9.1, kernel 2.4.22. The internal touchpad has been working since install no problems. I've tried 2 mice in case the mouse was weird, and am now using Logitech optical scroll mouse. The mouse is recognised (bus 2 dev 2) - output of /sbin/lsusb follows...
Code:
root@rualaptop:~# /sbin/lsusb
Unknown line at line 1809
Duplicate HUT Usage Spec at line 2650
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub
I believe this is not an X config issue, I have added the mouse to XF86Config, e.g.
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/usb/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
and couldn't get it working (though I probably had the device wrong).
The reason I don't think it's X is that the touchpad works in the terminal after bootup (i.e. no X) - I figure if I can get the mouse to work there (as well as touchpad) then I should be able to configure X to use it.
Do I need to add the mouse to some linux config file? If so I guess I'll need to know the device - how can I find this out?
Please help! Thanks...
