Linux and USB (painful theme... and an IBM laptop too!)

[TechnoPhile]

Hi,

I was just wondering how I can get my USB Logitech Optical iFeel mouse to work in Linux. I don't care if it is all funky (like vibrates, etc), as long as it has a moving cursor on the screen it's OK: I just want to rest my hand from the ThinkPad red nipple in the middle of the laptop! I am starting my programming course in university and have to scroll through my code using [PG_UP] and [PG_DOWN].

I have a RedHat 7.0 with its native kernel (I do not dare to screw it up yet! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif).

PLEASE, if you know how to fix this problem, I will be very very very very grateful!

Does RH7 have usb support? Check out www.linux-usb.org (http://www.linux-usb.org) and follow the guide.

Thanks for your reply, I will try to do as they advise in the guide and see what happens. I'll keep all my 20 fingers crossed... ;-)
