Hi Rick,
I am also using a Logitech USB mouse and it works great.
I am using a recompiled kernel 2.2.20. My kernel options were set to:
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m
CONFIG_USB_WMFORCE=m
CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
With modconf I loaded these modules:
mousedev
input
uhci
With dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 I configured my mouse in
/etc/X11/XF86Config like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
After rebooting your mouse should be recognized.
I hope this helps.
Oliver
