[CVALE] Something funny with my mouse...

[David Pitts]

Landon,

run "dmesg", you will get a list of messages.  unplug your mouse, run
"dmesg" again.  You "should" see where the mouse was  unplugged.  plug the
mouse in and run "dmesg" again and you "should" see where it is plugged in.
(dmesg is at /bin/dmesg I believe)

I believe you can cat /proc/interrupts to see what is being used.

You said you have usb mouse, yes?  Do you have your bios set up to assign
irq's to usbs?

David
