[lug] Remote mouse

[Mickey Taylor]

Hi.
I have a Gyration corless mouse that I want to use to give presentations 
in linux.  I have read some postings on the web that indicate that it 
should be possible to make this work... but have had no luck with what 
the postings suggested... here are the details.

I am running RedHat 7.2 on a Compaq 1500T.  I consistently get the kudzu 
window recognizing the device as  keyboard rather than mouse (they do 
make a keyboard that works with the receiver).  This has persisted 
regardless of anything I have tried...  

I have done the following:
1.  Added keybdev and usbkbd to blacklist in /etc/hotplug to supposedly 
block the usb keyboard drivers from binding
2.  Added the following sections to XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse2"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
 EndSection

Section "SeverLayout"
    ...
    InputDevice "mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse2" "AlwaysCore"
...
EndSection

So, does anyone have ideas on what else I can do to block recognition of 
the non-existent keyboard and get the mouse recognized instead??  Any 
suggestions greatly appreciated!
