Re: [tlug] Debian install and USB mouse

["Alessandro Mantelli" <alex@example.com>]

Hello I had it working but i tested debian on SID (unstable)
do modprobe mousedev
or modprobe usbmouse
for the kernel module.

Then change your xf86config setting as below

Section "InputDevice"

 Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"



Regards
