USB in slackware
Master of Reality:
i am not running Xfree86 4 in Slackware (i'm pretty sure i'm not.... or i edited the wrong file). In slacwkare it is /dev/mice which is a sympolic link to input/Mouse0.
Master of Reality:
I am running XFree86 4.2.0 but its config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config. It is setup differently from RedHats XF86Config-4 file and didnt work when i to copied it (that was actually the first thing i tried)
voidmain:
It likely didn't work because at minimum the mouse device names are not the same between RedHat and Slackware. Another thing that would be different are font paths (and any other paths for that matter). But the config directives themselves should work as long as the paths are corrected.
Master of Reality:
i'm startin to think it is something more serious in Slackware other than just a misconfigured XF86Config. I tried a couple different Mice and different types of mice and all types of configurations. And let mouseconfig and Xftconfig set up stuff. But GDM and X will not work no matter what. I think since i have Slackware on another computer i might wanna install Debian or BeOS (Dano of course) on it instead.
choasforages:
list your config file out, also, does slackware even reconize the fact that usb is on your computer, it did with redhat, and my usb-2.0 controller, and my ochi and uchi/*don't know if i got that acroynym right*/ controllers
