recently ,i have some trouble in XFree86 drivers.
a mouse driver for example.
1) in the /etc/X11/XF86Config.
we can VI:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse" ///////// care
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

2） we can find a driver called mouse_drv.o by the path:/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/input

3) question: obviously,the mouse_drv.o drivered the mouse called "Mouse0";but how could they matched?

ths very much .


ps: is there any develop tools for making *_drv.o .

waitting here :0

"Mouse1" or something like that is noting but a random identifier,
to be repeated in "ServerLayout" . (In some distro's the name is
"Configured Mouse")

The mouse driver in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input contains drivers
for the most known mice. (AFAIK)

In old linux ?? the config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config, new = xorg.conf
Which linux "distro name" "version" are you using ??

"ExplorerPS/2" is valid for most mice. Which mouse ???

PS The "Quotes" are just examples from one of my xorg.conf

ths knudfl

i'm using redhat9 os.

i wanna know how did they matched between "mouse" and "mouse_drv.o".just by name add a "_drv.o"?

"mouse" contains drivers for all common mice.
The only thing usually to change is : Option "Protocol"

More info only possible, if you describe your mouse :
Type number etc.. Wheel mouse ?? 3 buttons ??
And what is your problem ??

Redhat 9 is obsolete and unsupported (have been for years)
Suggest : Use Fedora 8 (or 9) "Redhat free desktop versions" 2007-2008.
