SubjectUSB Mouse issue
    Hi all :))

I've recently installed a USB mouse, and I want it to run with
HIDBP. I have USB and USB_UHCI (and USB_DEVICEFS) built into the
kernel and I successfully use my printer thru the USB interface. No
problem with that, with a 2.4.18 kernel.

The USB mouse support I have it as a module, as well as the input
core support. Well, I do:
$ insmod input
$ insmod usbmouse

and I have a char device with major 180, minor 16 (first USB
mouse, per Documentation/devices.txt). I load the modules by hand
because the default 'above' settings for modprobe with this modules
want to install keybdev and others.

My system log says:

<30>Apr 2 21:30:32 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver usb_mouse
<30>Apr 2 21:30:32 kernel: input0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball on usb1:2.0
<30>Apr 2 21:30:32 kernel: usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver

that is, seems to detect the mouse properly, doesn't it?

But when I do 'gpm -m mouse -p -t imps2' I have a 'ENODEV'. Same
if I try to open 'mouse' with cat or the like, always ENODEV:

crw-r--r-- 1 root root 180,16 mouse

Is the node correct? I'm doing all this as root, so no permission
problems should arise :? and I've tested too 13,32 and 13,63 nodes,
too, no one worked :( (same: ENODEV).

I don't want to use the /dev/input/... interface, since this
mouse should work with HIDBP. Must I use any additional module? If
so, why the kernel is not telling me anything about unresolved
symbols, lack of support, etc...? Must I use another minor?

Thanks in advance :)
