Maybe "modprobe mousedev"? (You can run "modconf" and look for any mouse-looking drivers and try those. Also, using gpm would be a lot easier here than trying to start X after every little modprobe, in my opinion, but you'd need to configure gpm and X to work together to share the mouse.)I know I've got a PS2 mouse, but X-Windows is telling me it's not there...From: Kent West [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: /dev/psaux
What kernel version? Perhaps you need to "modprobe psmouse"?
igloo:/dev# uname -a Linux igloo 2.4.25-1-686 #1 Tue Feb 24 10:55:59 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Yes, the file is there
igloo:/dev# ls -l | grep psaux crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Mar 14 2002 psaux
The box is a basic woody install. Then I altered my source.list file, changing "stable" to "testing". I assume that this is the way to upgrade to sarge. I installed x-windows-system. Now I'm at this point where X doesn't want to run, possibly due to the mouse.
This machine did run X on woody before. It got reformatted as a Gentoo box, then reformatted again to it's current state.
igloo:/dev# modprobe psmouse modprobe: Can't locate module psmouse
You think I should boot back into 2.4.18-bf2.4 or whatever it is...?I'd try it; then if it works, do a "lsmod" to see what modules are loaded; then you might can try those modules on the newer kernel.
