a nice mini how-to ins case you have not seen it:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html

here is a lilo.conf of mine

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz
    label=linux
    initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7.img
    read-only
    root=/dev/hdb1
    append="hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"

other=/dev/hda1
    optional
    label=DOS

I'm thinking I may have to upgrade my kernel. I checked out the mouse page, and the kernel the first user review was 2.4.1.

Thanx for the Lilo conf too, guess I've got a bit to do to mine. Luckly I downloaded a nifty Win2ext2 thing today so I can play in Windork. ;D

---------------------------------------

Using the winext2 program I managed to scare up my Mandrake XF86Config-4.eg file check this:

Section "InputDevice"
* *Identifier * * *"Mouse2"
* *Driver * * *"mouse"
* *Option * * *"Protocol" * * *"MouseMan"
* *Option * * *"Device" * * *"/dev/mouse2"
EndSection

An attempt at lilo.conf, it doesn't work telling me there's no vmlinuz image:

rompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message


image=/dev/hda9/vmlinuz
    label=linux
    initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.14-1.img
    read-only
    root=/dev/hda9
    

other=/dev/hda1
    optional
    label=Windoze

*pulls out hair*

It should be:

image=/boot/vmlinuz

not

image=/dev/hda9/vmlinuz

Thanks for that bit of code, with some slight changes it worked for me.

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.14-k7

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root      10 Dec 3 23:41 mouse -> gpmdata

crw-rw---- 1 root root     date here usbmouse

Got the lines using ls -l /dev/ | grep mouse, don't remember the date for the second but it's not important. The top according to a previous post is supposed to go to input/mice mine doesn't.

I did it!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D After all this time I changed a couple of things and it all workee workee!!

 
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier "Mouse1"
   Driver   "mouse"
   Option   "SendCoreEvents" "true"
   Option   "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
   Option   "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
   Option   "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
   Option   "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
