X.org shouldn't care what sort of mouse it is, it'll just receive mouse events from a /dev/input/* device, usually /dev/input/mice and only the kernel needs to know whether it's ps/2 or usb. > > Any other ideas warmly welcomed. Do any additional /dev/input/* devices appear when plugging in the mouse? If so try to 'cat' them and move the mouse around and see if anything happens. However you say the laser doesn't turn on, that might indicate a problem elsewhere, probably in your kernel configuration. Do you have any other USB mice that you can try? > > Thanks, > Mark -- Raymond Lewis Rebbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
