ADB-Mouse

Hi,
I just digged through the maillinglist but didn't come up with a solution,
so what did I miss ?
I compiled a linuxppc_2_3.snap from fmlabs from October 17th and it
compiled ok, booted, recognized my Acard AEC 6260M ide card, accepted my
l2cr setting and the voodoo3 card, booted from the ide-partition to
console login. The keyboard works ok (apple extended kb II) but the mouse
doesn't (ADB-mouse) /dev/adbmouse doesn't exist (claims gpm and X11).
dmesg reads the following:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda7 adb_buttons=111,55
video=tdfx:1024x768-8@60 l2cr=0xb9010000 video=ofonly
l2cr set to b9010000

ADB keyboard at 2, handler set to 3
Detected ADB keyboard, type ISO, swapping keys.

ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 2
input2: ADB HID on ID 3:3.01

event2: Event device for input0
keybdev.c: Adding keyboard: input1
mouse0: PS/2 mouse device for input2
mouse1: PS/2 mouse device for input0
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

I do have /proc/device-tree/bandit/gc/via-cuda/adb/mouse/device_type
.../name and .../reg so I would think the mouse should be there, ...
shouldn't it?
Do I have to create a new /dev/adbmouse entry ? It works with 2.4.0-t2 ...

No, see Ben's site for more info, the new layer is also integrated in
2.4 now.

/dev/adbmouse "changed" to /dev/input/mice

May I suggest a look at the 'new input layer' changes that have been
discussed on the list. Sounds like one of those issues...

as a side note, I suppose you people know how the mouse button emulation
works. I couldn't make it work at any rate on my Pismo PowerBook...
I'm using benh's 2.2.17pre20 kernel, and the new input layer is configured
in the .config so according to my studies (in the mackeyb.c) the emulation
should work as it is, when you just put a '1' in the
/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation file... I experimented with
different keycodes but found out that none of them would make any
difference to the gpm.

guys, how exactly do you make it to work?

The trick is to use the keycodes a PC keyboard would emit for the keys you
intend to use for emulation. The default is set to have fn-cntrl and
fn-option as emulation keys (which magically fails to interfere with other
functions of these keys, quite unlike the old emulation).
