Title: cotrol cacko with usb mouse
Post by: Anonymous on December 28, 2003, 03:05:49 pm

hello !

i am owner of a interpocket usb host cf card.
i´d like to use it with a usb mouse on my zaurus.
i´ve already been on:

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html (http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html)

where´s a good description of how to use usb with linux.

i came to the point, where i can see weird letters on the terminal window when i move the mouse - so far so good but the problem is:

they tell to edit the XF86Config file (usually /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config),

which do not exist on the Z. at least not as this filename

can anybody help me ?


greetings ollie

cd to /etc/X11 (don\'t forget that it is case sensative!) and enter ls as a command.

That will list everything in that directory frequently it will be /etc/X11/XF86Config-# where \"#\" is a number.  In Mandrake linux, it\'s /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

It just occured to me that the \'86\' in the file name refers to the x86 processor arxitechture, so the config file in the cacko rom may well have a totaly different filename, I guess you\'re gonna need sash\'s help on this one.

TinyX Xserver dont use XF86Config, for use USB mouse need XServer recompilation or write new module for tslib (for translate mouse pointer) at least.

Has anyone actually done this?

I have a USB mouse and (at last!) a working USB host. I've created /dev/input/mice and, by CATting to STDOUT, can see data coming in from the mouse.

I'm able to use my usb mouse with gpm now (pdaxrom rc9.1), and I want more!
Hope, that TinyX' mouse support comes soon.
