Your kernel is probably ok. > It also says I'll need to load the input.o, hid.o, and > mousedev.o modules. I don't have these. Are these in the kernel > source, for me to add when I rebuild? What kernel are you using? uname -a I'm guessing you've got a stock Debian one. In which case everything should have been compiled into the kernel or as a module. Assuming that you have the modules you need to install them into your kernel. As root do: modprobe usbcore hid input mousedev Then, assuming you have X configured correctly, it should work. For future reference about kernel modules have a look at the commands (ie man pages) for modprobe, lsmod and modconf Cheers, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux onefish 2.4.19-lavienx #1 Mon Aug 12 20:29:59 EST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
