USB mouse support
 

Hey,

I did read almost all the posts on this topic and I still don't have a clear answer: how to make a usb mouse cursor display everywhere?
I have a Usbmouse package installed that displays the cursor in the browser, yet it disappears as soon as the cursor goes outside the window. Is there a package available somewhere to fix this, or do I have to tweak it myself. If so, are there any CLEAR AND DETAILED instructions available... because by reading the posts, northing's clear!

Note: I have a n800, OS2008, USB host mode enabled.

Thank you

Ilia

No. No-one has gotten that entirely working yet; it would require modification and recompilation of much of the system.

But K works fine, and many ported apps work fine, it's just a few apps and (most noticably) the window manager and friends. So it doesn't bother me that much.,

my question was mostly about maemo, not KDE. I'll install K eventually... until then, I was trying to make maemo more user-friendly ;)

Thank you.

There's a mouse polling program that works [search for mousepolling.]

The mouse polling program is part of the USB Mouse package that we made up.

In terms of getting it to work everywhere in Matchbox/"Maemo" (everyday I learn that there's a different part of OS 2008 that's responsible for actually displaying the windows/etc), if you read the Wiki page it describes it all for you:
