TITLE: USBMOUSE LFS VERSION 3.0 AUTHOR: Konrad Miller SYNOPSIS: How to install a USB-mouse HINT: 1. Recompile the Kernel. You need to turn on: "USB Human Interface Device (HID) support" "USB support" "Mouse Support (in input core support)" Do _not_ turn on "USB HIDBP Mouse support" If you build modules, you need to load "input.o", "hid.o" and "mousedev.o". 2. Plug in the Mouse and check if it was detected (kernel message) 3. Create the mouse nodes by running the following commands: mkdir /dev/input \ mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63 4. You probably want to use the mouse under X, you need to edit your XF86Config (/etc/X11/XF86Config). Change your InputDevice and ServerLayout sections to something like that: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" ... InputDevice "USB Mice" "CorePointer" ... EndSection P.S.: I read how to do it on some Homepage, if you know where it is from, please add the URL ;)
