Well, you should check dmesg when you plug your mouse to see how |
25 |
exactly it is recognized, then use "cat" in the file that represent |
26 |
your mouse (you're pointing to /dev/input/mice at xorg.conf, mine is |
27 |
/dev/mice) and move the mouse, if you get garbage at the console while |
28 |
moving it, its the right file and your mouse is working, so you just |
29 |
need to get the right protocol (I went testing all of them till I find |
30 |
the one, auto never did it for me). |
