Thanks .. but the device doesn't create the /dev/input/mouse0 (or
any other device entry) unless I manually create that udev rule file.
That being said, when I do use the udev rule file, stopping the gpm
daemon via init.d script and than calling gpm via:
# gpm -m /dev/input/mouse0 -t ps2
doesn't seem have any effect. I've tried with /dev/input/mice and
with types "imps2" "pnp" and "ms" as well to no effect.
Might I have to somehow modify the usb mouse driver module to recognize
this device? Is there a table that I simply need to make an entry into?
Again, thanks
