Plan a) Does gpm work in text mode? If yes, "cat /etc/conf.d/gpm" |
| 10 |
and see what device it lists as being used. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Plan b) Start off with the command "ls -al -R /dev > list.txt" and |
| 13 |
view list.txt with your favourite editor or file-viewer. |
| 14 |
Look under "/dev/input". Also check for "/dev/mouse" or |
| 15 |
"/dev/mice" or "/dev/psaux" or "/dev/misc/". You should find |
| 16 |
something somewhere. |
