Hello,
on my laptop (compaq armada m300), i used to plug an usb mouse, and it was 'seen' as a ps2 mouse by Xfree, without any usb module loading (kernel 2.2.18, with custom configure options)
root@polaire# ls -l /dev/mouse /dev/psmouse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 25 15:27 /dev/mouse -> /dev/psmouse crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 1 Jun 25 15:27 /dev/psmouse
and : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection
In my XF86Config ... It was kinda magic....
Anyway, i compiled a 2.4.17 kernel (with more or less the same configure options, but it was a pain for usb), and now the same 'magic' doesn't work.... I must use usbcore, hid, mousedev, uhci modules in order to use my usb mouse...
Can someone explain me how it worked in 2.2.18 without those modules, and is it possible to make the same magic work in 2.4.17 ?
