18 Make sure that you have HID Input support in your kernel, otherwise,
19 there won't be a driver for the mouse. If you intend on hotplugging the
20 mouse, make sure you have hotplug installed as well. Once you have HID
21 Input support and hotplug, plugging in the mouse should result in an
22 extra /dev/input/mouseX device. If you don't want to have to select
23 between the two, you can specify /dev/input/mice as your input device
24 which should take input from all mouse devices.
