Actually - I think it should be stock. Try cat /dev/input/mouse0 - and moving the mouse/trackpad. if this generates random text, then you're done. /dev/input/mice is a fake device that globs all the mice in the system together. /dev/input/mouse[n] is the nth mouse on the system. Also - you can just go to device drivers/input - and disable the ps/2 mouse driver. Set up X and GPM to use /dev/input/mouse1 - if this is your USB mouse, and it just works. - 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/
