Does one need to change the link from /dev/mouse to /dev/ttyS0 if using a PS/2 mouse? I worked out that the Protocol setting needed to be PS/2 but still couldn't get it working.
I think PS/2 mice normally appear on /dev/psaux and USB mice on /dev/input/mice. Protocol ImPS/2 (wheel-mouse) is quite common now too.
Indeed ... and I'd like to find out how to set X up for one. a) What's the /dev/link for a wheel mouse? b) What's the protocol spec for XF86Config?
(I wanted to use a wheel mouse on my laptop whose touchpad works fine on /dev/psaux with protocol "PS/2", but when I tried attaching an external wheelmouse its behaviour was totally erratic.)
Thanks, Ted.
