Hi Angel,

could you, please, describe your mouse (PS/2, usb, etc) and post the mouse section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file? (I assume you want the mouse to work in X, not in console).

I'm using USB mouse...on DeLL..
Here's my config file

Section "Input Device"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I've changed from /dev/input/mice to /dev/psaux...since /dev/input/mice can't even boot my X...

Hi, Wat version of kernel are u using? ( #uname -r).
for usb support, u should use kernel 2.4 and above( i use bf24 kernel).

if u already use bf24, then maybe u can run modconf from console, and try to select module for usb support.

maybe this link will help, although the kernel i use is different, but the usb module is the same:

after that, dont forget to restart :)


Hope it helps :)
