Detect ps/2 / usb mouse for a live-cd

Detect ps/2 / usb mouse for a live-cd

[Jonas Melian Garcia]

hello!

Now i'm using kudzu to detect the mouse in a live-cd.

Hotplug detect the sound card and alsasound load the modules
Hotplug detect the network card also.

But it is possible detect the mouse to can configure correctly?
Where are the devices that hotplug detect?

No, because the kernel lacks serio hotplug support.

Why do you need to detect them?
Usually the right modules are loaded by hotplug and the xorg entry is
identical for most mouse types:
(works only for 2.6 kernel)

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver  "mouse"
        Option  "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
        Option  "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option  "Emulate3Timeout"       "70"
        Option  "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option  "Protocol"      "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
        Option  "Buttons"       "7"
EndSection

/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2

that should work for ps2 or usb .. serial is another thing, because
the kernel does not know about it .. fortunately its very rarely used.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Good, because now I can replace kudzu by discover to detect the 
graphical card. I believe that it is better.

Thanks

That doesn't work all that well for touchpads, though arguably
part of the problem there is that the kernel touchpad drivers
still have glitches ...

If you're using 2.6, just use /dev/input/mice, it should
Just Work.
