I think It won't move because it's an USB mouse.
To make it work, follow these steps:
(you must be logged in as root
)
1. Load the usbcore kernel module
"modprobe usbcore"
2.
Find out which module you need for your USB interface. Try Loading each module with the command "modprobe [module name]" (you can choose between "usb-ohci" "usb-uhci" or "uhci")
If you get some error messages, then you didn't load the correct module, so try a diffrent one.
modprobe usb-uhci
OR
modprobe usb-ohci
OR
modprobe uhci
(err you understand right?
)
3. Now that you have the correct USB interface driver installed, load the modules hid and mousedev.
"modprobe hid"
"modprobe mousedev"
4. Now you may need to add an entry to /dev for the new mouse. If you don't have the file"/dev/mice" then you will need to add the following.
mknod /dev/mice c 13 63
5. If you want to use the mouse with X-Windows (I bet you want), then you will need to have the following lines in the mouse section of your XF86Config file.
Option"Protocol""ImPS/2"
Option"Device""/dev/mice"
If you have similar lines in the mouse section, as you should then just change them to match the above lines.
Now restart X and use your mouse
