However if I cat either of the file and start clicking away, there is no change in the file (I tried this on a SW Live distro and it worked there. so if my mouse is not writing to either of the two device files, what should I do? I also checked the other /dev/input/ mouse files and they say no device.. Thanks a lot in advance, Joy.M.M > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A life without purpose is like a bird that never learnt to fly....... > I am the bird that regularly flies Lufthansa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
