Title: Ratoc USB card drivers
Post by: ChrisEBoy on July 07, 2004, 07:54:43 am

Hi All,

Does anyone with a Ratoc card use pdaxrom in it's current release?  Are the drivers included or must they still be downloaded etc?

If they are not included in the current release is it planned for the next release?

TIA

I'll reply myself then.   Yes they do work, you have to download the ipkgs from the usual place and reboot.  If you don't reboot it won't load.

Additionally all you have to load is insmod usb-storage to add usb storage as all the others are automagically loaded.

Does anybody know how to get an usbmouse work with ratoc host? Neither 'usbmouse' nor 'mousedev' modules work, no new devices in /dev, nothing to pass to xserver through '-mouse [device]'...

(yes, I've plugged mouse properly, loaded all module dependencies, tried /dev/usbmouse)

Try using the 'hid' module.

I'm loading all neccessary modulesd as I wrote before. It stands for 'input', 'hid' and 'usbmouse' | 'mousedev'. The only device file that seems corresponding is '/dev/usbmouse' but there's 'no such device'...

The device files usually reside in /dev/input/*

Yes, I know it (after all, I'm using usb mouse on my desktop ), but no new device files are appearing (as it should be without devfs or udev ). I've tried MAKEDEV from GentooForZaurus (because there is no one in pdaXrom), without any result.

So, have you managed creating the device files or not? If not, try

mkdir -p /dev/input
mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63
mknod /dev/input/mouse0 c 13 32

Thanks, now I can use gpm on my Z.  But there's still no possibility to use another pointer device with TinyX which neither has an xconfig nor recognizes '-mouse' option.

Well, there always is a possibility to inject mouse events to the running X server via the XTest extension, that is supported by this server. But you'll have to write a program to do so, and that's another story...
