Slackware on a Sony Vaio V505: USB Devices

USB Mouse

If you have a usb mouse add this to your XF86Config in the appropriate sections:

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

Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "USB Mouse"
EndSection

USB Storage

To mount a usbstorage device, type:

#mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/yourdirectorymake sure you have usb support and usb mass storage enabled in the kernel (see kernel). NB. depending if you have the usbkey inserted during bootup, the device could be allocated as sda and the memorystick as sdb.

Memorystick

this worked after I enabled scsi emulation for older kernels. the device is sda1. the device can the be mounted with the command:

#mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/yourdirectory
