1 Hi all,
2 My son bought a fancy mouse for playing games in windows. It works
3 in Windows but so far not in Linux.
4
5 It is visible to the system in usbview:
6
7
8 Razer Copperhead Laser Mouse

11 USB Version: 2.00
12 Device Class: 00(>ifc )
13 Device Subclass: 00
14 Device Protocol: 00
15 Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 8
16 Number of Configurations: 1
17 Vendor Id: 1532

22 Unfortunately X isn't seeing it so far. Also the red optical
23 generator on the bottom is not turned on so I'm not sure it will
24 actually work yet anyway.
25
26 Is there possibly a protocol change in xorg.conf for USB mice? I'm
27 looking around but somehow not seeing it. The Gentoo Xorg config guide
28 just sets it up for a PS/2 mouse I think.
29
30 Any other ideas warmly welcomed.

32 Thanks,
33 Mark
