Hi
i installed my second gentoo system with no problems. till now. but then i installed gdm as display manager. i added the startup script with rc-update to the default runlevel and everything works fine. so when gentoo is booting my gdm login screen is coming up. but now my problem.
i have no mouse on the gdm screen. i can type on my keyboard without problems (login works too) but the mouse doesen't move. and if i login and my GUI is started the mouse doesen't move either.
but when i start fluxbox (my gui) with startx from the console then the mouse works and everything is ok (scrolling is enabled too).
i'm using xorg- 6.8.0-r1 with the following mouse configureation
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection
so where is my problem ? i realy have no idea what could be.
thx
No Mouse on GDM

CaT did you get to work arround that problem? 'cause it seems i'm having the same issue...
I dmesg|grep "mice" and i get that the kernel did recognize the mouse.
Then i cat /dev/{psaux, mice, mouse0, mouse1, ...} and i get no data for whatever "candidate" device i try.
I'm using udev... but i don't really know if the problem comes from there. The major on the devices i cat is from "input" (/proc/devices) so i guess the devices are being "numbered" correctly.
So i've got absolutely no idea on what to try next... if someone has, feedback is appreciated
