[svlug] USB mouse trouble

[matt@vazor.com]

Hi,

I have a USB mouse plugged into my laptop, kernel is configured as follows:

[root at sj116p204 linux]# egrep 'USB|MOUSE' .config | egrep '^[^#]'
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y

I used to use the USB-UHCI driver (CONFIG_USB_UHCI) but that seems to be broken
in 2.4.20-pre5.  At least it made my mouse jumpy and such...

Anyway, the mouse actually works now, but the scroll wheel doesn't work.  With
the old driver, I have:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "USB Mice"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

in my XF86Config-4 file, but /dev/input/mice doesn't seem to be a valid device
any longer...  At least I can't 'cat' it now which I used to be able to.

thx

m
