i am using a 2 button 'normal' mouse and would like to use a usb mouse -it works in mandrake10 and did work in 9
in EvilEntity the mouse seems to be recognized by the kernel (?) and/so? all the right modules are loaded (?)
i assume my problem is finding what to put as the "Device" in XF86Config
i am using EvilEntity DR2.5 (i think)
