In another thread with someone having usb mouse problems they put

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

in their xorg.conf file. They found their mouse was "event2" using " cat /proc/bus/usb/devices |more". So I used the same command and got these results.

The problem is I don't know how to tell which "event" my mouse is. So, how does this tell me which "event" the mouse is?

Try

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

it says "No such file or directory"

using Slack 11.0

Try 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' without the | more on the end.

I did that and it outputs a lot of info very fast until it gets to the prompt again. I don't get to see what it says.

Try 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > output.txt' which should create a file called output.txt in your home directory with the output of the command.
