Post #186,318 by folkert 12/7/04 5:43:52 PM Reply	You have to look at /dev/input/mice That rounds up all the usb input mice/tablets. Of course, you also realize Debian does not allow a "succeed" anyway when it comes to mice and keyboard with mice not found. There is a stanza entry that you can use to work even it the mouse pointer fails... it escapes me right now. I use it for being able to have a headless machine with X and do XDMCP logins to a machine like that. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]

It seems to me if there is no available option after invoking 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' that will yield a functioning box with a usb mouse ... that might be a bug. So was this my faulty assumption, or is this a reportable bug? === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

If you were to read the description on that particular page... it does mention some things. Ironically, it is a matter of figuring out which is left from the list, eliminating Serial, PS/2, GPM-data, IBM-busmouse and Sun Mouse (kybd connected mouse):`/dev/psaux /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS3 /dev/input/mice /dev/atibm /dev/sunmouse /dev/gpmdata`This leaves you with `/dev/input/mice` only. Of course we all knew that. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]

Wasn't the kbd ... it was the mouse - (drewk) - (7) - Dec. 7, 2004, 12:19:55 PM EST

Yeah, I know it's possible - (drewk) - (1) - Dec. 7, 2004, 08:08:03 PM EST

Unless I missed it, I don't think that they had Barbie in mind as one of the 4 horsemen.
