Mouse support

I've no clue if I should post it here or somewhere else but, I'm having troubles with getting an USB mouse to work with the Panel Card. This can't be so hard to do, but my linux knowledge is limited so I'm running lost trying to get it working. Is there anyone who have done this before and made some how-to??

In praticular I should get the USB mouse working together with the Xfdev X-server and the Matchbox-wm...

When I connect my mouse to the board, I get the following message:

usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using at91_ohci and address 4
usb 1-2: Product: USB Mouse
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

So it is recognized I assume? All help is welcome of course!

Thanks!

Re: Mouse support

This message is from the USB subsystem, but the input driver ist not loaded. To get the USB mouse working, you have to enable USB HID in the kernel (either as a module or compiled in). Then start the X server with the parameter "-mouse mouse,/dev/input/mice" or "-mouse mouse,/dev/mice", depending on if you are using udev or mdev as a device manager.

Re: Mouse support

Ok thanks, But which X-server are you using on the Panel Card? I'm currently building the new kernel, but I thought my X-server (Xfbdev) isn't really supporting the option -mouse ... But I'll try later today..

Ok so my problem was that the USB HID wasn't enabled.

To get it working with Xfdev I just had to do:

Xfdev -mouse mouse,/dev/input/mice & (as you said)

And to get it working with the x-windows-manager:

x-window-manager use_cursor yes &

After this, everything was working perfect! Thanks!
