SuSE 8.1 doesn't configure X11 to recognize USB wireless mouse

16 Nov 2002

      Under SuSE 8.0, I could switch the soft link, /dev/mouse, to point at either:

/dev/usbmouse
or
/dev/psaux

and reboot x11.  I, thereby, controlled what device my laptop (Dell 8100) used 
as its pointer.  Both the scratchpad (psaux) and my wireless mouse (usbmo=
use) worked great.   I can set up my same wireless mouse with the yast2 under
8.1, but I cannot get X11 to recognize a softlink from /dev/mouse to 
/dev/usbmouse.  Has something changed?  What is the correct device file? 
XF86Config still contains a line for /dev/mouse, so I assume I just need to 
link it to the right device.  Correct?   BTW, on 8.1, Sax2 did not pick up my 
wireless mouse correctly either.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
