robcussons@xxxxxxxx staggered into the Black Sun and said:
Has anyone managed to get this [Microsoft natural 6000] mouse working
on Debian Etch? What is required and must you be root to do it?
Is this mouse USB? If so, it should use the usbhid module and should
report events on /dev/input/mouseN as well as /dev/input/mice in either
the IMPS/2 or EXPS/2 protocol. If it's not USB, say something; the rest
of this message assumes it's USB.
want to use this mouse in my workplace and I don't have root there. If
root is required, what needs to be done?
Make sure usbhid has been modprobed and usb_ohci or usb_uhci (depending
on your USB1 chipset) has also been modprobed. Fix X's config file (
/etc/X11/xorg.conf ) such that there's a mouse device defined for
/dev/input/mouseN or /dev/input/mice and that it is using the
appropriate protocol. It is strange that this didn't work immediately;
when I plugged a USB mouse into my Gentoo system, it started working
immediately even though I hadn't changed X's config file yet.
