Thanks Dave, another reference worth noting but I'm seriously hoping
not to have to get up to my elbows in muck and grease to get this
working. That was a lot of the reason for looking at doing with the
mouse module and hardware.
My major sticking point now is that, despite a recent update to the
"full" debian image for ARM that corrected the 2.4.26-ts10 to
moduless to -ts11, it seems the mousedev module is still bad.
:modules# insmod mousedev
insmod: mousedev: no module by that name found
:modules# ls /lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11/kernel/drivers/input/
input.o keybdev.o mousedev.o
input and keybdev load fine but mousedev is not seen as being a
module.
does anyone have a working mousedev.o for the std kernel that they
could post in the files section (or anywhere else)?
Again I dont want to spend days plugging around with cross compilers
and rebuilding kernels just to fix this module.
If anyone can provide a working module it would be a great help.
TIA.
