[gentoo-user] Mouse not detected

[Tom Haddon]

Hi Folks,

I have gentoo installed on QEMU and I'm having problems with the mouse
not being detected. I have no /dev/mouse which means X won't start. If I
do 'dmesg | grep -i mouse' I get:

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /class/input/intput1

Can anyone point me (!) in the direction of what I need to do to get my
mouse recognized?

Thanks, Tom

Try using /dev/input/mice.

Everything that you know is wrong, but you can be straightened out.

Maybe try 'mounting' yr mouse on /dev/psaux. I had the same problem and when I pointed to /dev/psaux in xorg.conf mouse was OK (peep).
