I recently got an EEEbox. This is an Atom based nettop. It came with a wireless keyboard/mouse which talk to a 2.4Ghz USB adapter (a Chicony device as it turns out).
Now if I plug this adapter into a Centos 4.8 machine both the keyboard and mouse are detected... but mouse clicks aren't. I can move the mouse, the scroll wheel works, but buttons 1/2/3 aren't detected. Neither in X nor in console gpm.
Wondering: it might work with CentOS 5.5... Centos 4.8 is getting long in the tooth, partitularly for bleeding edge hardware...
It worked fine in Ubuntu 10.04, and obviously works fine with Windows XP.
My feeling is that maybe perhaps the older 4.8 kernel doesn't have a sufficiently good driver so I might be forced to compile my own (*sigh*) but I was wondering if anyone else had come across a similar issue and had a work around?
