Re: [Gumstix-users] SDL Console Image

After looking into this further I had to add the mouse support at the Kernel level.

Thankfully doing that didn't break my mouse in another application that I use that doesn't require the above kernel support.

So now numptyphysics works with my console image. :)

Subject: [Gumstix-users] SDL Console Image

Does anyone know if its possible to use a USB mouse within SDL on a minimal console image?

>From my test SDL works fine with the FBCON, but I can't get the USB mouse to work.

It just reports back SDL_Init Failed: Unable to open mouse

I can get it to work without the mouse (by using the no mouse environmental variable), and I can get it to work with unusable mouse movements (from telling it /dev/input/event1 is the mouse).

I'm using version 1.2.14 of libsdl
