Help needed to find why mouse not working
 

I have just purchased a KeySonic ACK-540 RF wireless keyboard and
touchpad to work with my KDE4 based Debian Squeeze computer. This is
primarily because it is a mythtv box and I want to sit remotely to
control it.


The keyboard seems to work fine - its recognised by grub and works
without a problem. The mouse part is not working in KDE - but there is
definitely a mouse device present in the system (/dev/input/mice and
/dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mouse1 are present).


I would like to initially prove that when I move my hand on the touchpad
it is sending information to the computer. How can I see that something
is being sent (which devices should be the mouse?)


Once I know that there is info being received at the computer, I then
need to find out how to get X to recognise it.


Can some of you here lead me through this process please.

By running xev from a terminal in X you should get some response when
moving the mouse pointer across the xev window. That would be a start.

It didn't produce anything. However, I have now tried it on a Windows
Machine, and nothing there either. My conclusion is that it is broken
and I am sending it back
