how to make my Mouse Systems mouse work with knoppix?

[rickenbacherus]

kxconfig, as I suspected only works with X, hence the chicken+egg problem I alluded to
below.

Uh..............oops- sorry. Sometimes I don't pay very close attention do I?

Moving right along.......... I'm unsure of whether you're booting the cd or have Knoppix installed. At any rate, what protocol does your Redhat install use? I would put that in your XF86Config and smoke it.

If you're booting the cd then just boot Knoppix 2 and run /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -configure
(I have not attempted this feat myself but I think it's legit )

-OR-

Maybe edit your XF86Config to read like this:

Option "Protocol" "Auto"

That's pretty self explainatory eh?

I'm outta guesses for now.
