Both the keyboard and mouse are USB, so there is no problem there. The only thing that doesn't seem to be supported is to "mix" a regular PS/2 and a USB mouse into a single device (as is the case for the keyboard). On my machine, /dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/input/mousemix and mousemix is the following special device: crw-r--r-- 1 root root 13, 63 Apr 27 17:52 /dev/input/mousemix That plus the right kernel configuration options and XF86Config file should be all it takes for a USB mouse to work. --david >>>>> On Thu, 15 Jun 2000 10:47:29 -0700, Johannes Erdfelt said: Johannes> On Thu, Jun 15, 2000, Eric Wang Johannes> wrote: >> During the machine boot up period, the USB keyboard could not >> work, so you should connect both PS/2 and USB Mouse and Keyboard >> on the machine.
