[SDL] !!! Troubles with Mouse without X !!!

[Fabio Giovagnini]

Hi,
I developing a nice File manager using SDL. I like to use it without X but 
if I try to run my application form bash, I receive:
Couldn inizialize SDL: Unable to open mouse.

Well.

I built my system from scratch (see Linux form scratch at LPD). In my /dev 
directory I have only 


bash-2.04# ls /dev/*mouse* -l
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   3 May  9 09:46 /dev/atimouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   4 May  9 09:46 /dev/jmouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   0 May  9 09:46 /dev/logimouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   2 May  9 09:46 /dev/msmouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   1 Jun  7 16:15 /dev/psmouse

so you can see I have  no /dev/mouse.

Under X my mouse works properly, and in XF86Config file I selected 
/dev/psmouse.

So I made the link /dev/mouse to /dev/psmouse.

I tried to run my application but even if it started, the mouse didn,t work 
good.

Any Ideas


Thanks a lot.
