What kind of mose is it? How did you install it? USB? Serial?

If it is connected through your keyboard, Im assuming its USB. I dont know
if there are different devices for USB peripherals, but using PS/2 or any
other mose, would use the serial device in /dev or the /dev/mouse or
something like that. Please elaborate.

Thanks.
