Hello,

i recently got an IBM T41p Thinkpad. I'm using Gentoo Linux with 2.6.1 ke=
rnel=20
and want to enable my UltraNav on the console.

(for the mouse i enabled this in my kernel:

cube linux # grep INPUT .config
CONFIG_INPUT=3Dy
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=3Dy
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=3Dy
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=3D1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=3D768
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TSDEV is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=3Dy
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=3Dy
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=3Dy
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_MISC is not set
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=3Dy
)

I executed  the following cmd:=20
gpm -m /dev/psaux -t synps2 -R

and if i play with the stick and/or the touchpad resp. buttons i got the=20
following output:

cube root # gpm -m /dev/psaux -t synps2 -R
