17 Yes, event interface you need as well.
18 My problem was if compile kernel without devicemanager,
19 mouse was working only in console (gpm), but not in X.
20 Spent a lot of hours on that.
21 Finally I've red dmesg and there it was.... no devman.
22 If you have still problems, try to enable that.
