<< < (3/5) > >>

Master of Reality:
but i would have to reach all the way down into the box beside my computer to pull it out  :(

voidmain:
m0r = funny

Master of Reality:
slackware doesnt like USB.
redhat doesnt like it as PS/2.
i htink i will have to decide whether to use red hat or slackware on my main 'puter or put on the USB > PS/2 adapter everytime i boot into slacwkare.

Calum:
:D  too much like hard work, eh MoR. much easier to set up XF86Config to handle USB mice...

btw, if you get fed up of trying, i have one of those USB>PS/2 adaptors spare RIGHT HERE  ;)

Can't you use the same Mouse section from the XF86Config for both RedHat and Slackware? Are you running XFree v4.x on Slackware?

Also realize that if you use the "/dev/mouse" as your device you'll need to check and make sure "/dev/mouse" is a symbolic link to the proper device name. "ls -l /dev/mouse" should show that it is a symbolic link to a real device, or use the "real" device name in your XF86Config rather than "/dev/mouse".
