I'm sorry...but....I'm not so shure that I understand......?
at my /dev directory is a file (or something) called @mouse.....ok..!...so
far so good.....but this "file" is empty....it does'nt contain a
thing.....is this really right...?
I've tried with /dev/ttys0....Then it says "Cannot open mouse (input/output
error)"......?
Can this be a clue...?...what can be wrong...?
