It's not entirely > obvious. It's X config dependant. If you have Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" in your inputdevice section, all should work (I think[*]). However, some folks seem to have somehow ended up with references to either 'mouse0' or 'event*' in there. With 2.6.14 on my testbox, I get this.. $ ls /dev/input/ event0 event1 mice mouse0 With 2.6.15rc $ ls /dev/input/ mice If I can dig out the bugzilla that reported this, I'll followup. Something in my head is telling me it had something to do with laptop touchpads, but that could be the post-xmas `nog talking. Dave [*] How much I look forward to a world where X has no config file and just figures all this out itself. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
