Default Trouble getting USB mouse working (Slackware 9.1)

Hi folks,

I've followed the instructions in Documentation/input/input.txt but I
can't seem to get the mouse working.

I've got all the modules loaded:

input 3520 0 [keybdev mousedev hid]
uhci 25968 0 (unused)
usbcore 63360 1 [hid uhci]
mousedev 4404 0

But the following line:

gpm -t ps2 -m /dev/input/mice

doesn't get me a working mouse cursor on the console.

Anyone?

Thanks,

DT

Default Problem solved

I had accidentally also compiled in the HIDBP (basic) support for mouse
and keyboard. That was the problem.
