Title: Usb Mouse Support
Post by: cwaig on January 11, 2005, 04:15:33 am
For those who've not been following the discussion in the SL6000 forum about USB mouse support on the standard Sharp ROM....

I've added some code to the InputHelper applet to allow you to use a USB mouse under Qtopia on the SL6000.

Today I got a mail from Yakty in Japan (who wrote InputHelper) with some unexpected news...

It works also on SL-C750 with REX-CFU1(USB host CF Card), and SL-C3000.

I expect that as it works with the C750 via the CF USB host card, it'll also work with other Zaurus models in the same way - and working with the C3000 out of the box is a real bonus.

For a preliminary version, take a look at the thread in the SL6000 hardware forum, or wait for the next version of InputHelper (which will include the required code).

Can this be made to work with pdaXrom?

Yes, it does, although not with every mouse for some reason. Microsoft Intellimouse 3.1 didn't work (mouse pointer would only move up and down), but it worked just fine with Genius mouse with scroll wheel.
