Date: 29 Oct 1995 01:08:38 GMT Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Lines: 16 Message-ID: <46uk6n$sao@usenet.rpi.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: matisse.its.rpi.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello everybody, I'm trying to figure out the device name I should use for the mouse. I looked at the XFree86 FAQ's and they suggest grepping the log file for sio devices and then MAKDEVing the "corresponding device. Well, I get sio0 and sio1 detected, but MAKEDEV doesn't make these devices (it looks like it does something, but it never creates a file under /dev). Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. -- Alexander Holmansky "Spinning tales about silence..." kholma@rpi.edu http://www.rpi.edu/~kholma
