Hello,I'm a new comer in linux .forgive my poor English.
I want to get the data from usb mouse,something like the mouse displacement,wheel and so on.

are you looking for mouse specs? if so, run this:

Code:

lsusb | grep mouse

if you are trying to find which button is which, do this in terminal:

Code:

xev

once the little window comes up, click in the square and scroll the wheel once and read the output to the terminal. that shows the button mappings.
