I'm running Slackware 11 and have tried everything to get a MX1000 Laser Mouse to work. The only thing linux tells me is that it might be a permissions Problem. Any ideas?

It is unlikely that it is a permission problem. Does the kernel detect the mouse (look in dmesg)? What modules do you have loaded?

In dmesg I have:

usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb.c: registered new driver usbmouse
usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver
usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
usb.c: registered new driver hid
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0x3404) is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c: registered new driver usblp
printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x3404


here are the modules:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0

Any chance I can see entire dmesg? And also ouput of 'lsmod'?

Oh, and also 'lsusb'. Pretty please.
