AW: [ltp] T40 & USB

[Meidinger Chris]

Hi Paul,

check /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse1-4 to see which mouse is =
which.
(do cat /dev/input/mouse1, then move each mouse to see which one is =
that
device)

as far as i know, psaux is being dynamically mapped to one of these =
hard
nodes. if you are running off psaux, then if the wrong mouse gets =
mapped
(this will have, afaik, something to do with the load order) you have =
the
wrong mouse.

If you check your xfree config, i would guess that one of the mice is =
being
mapped to a mouse number that you're not using in your XF86Config-4. =
add
that mouse to the config, and you should have it.

this is what i did to get trackpoint and mouse (ibm wired usb mouse) =
working
but keep the touchpad (why did ibm ever start building those horrendous
things into these lovely laptops) shut off.

(if this made no sense to you, reply and i can clarify)

Cheers,

Chris
