suse 10.3 can't use evdev so that defeats btnx
I was very happy to see that there was a suse 10.3 rpm for btnx. I thought that it would look after all the dependencies and things would go swimmingly. I was particularly encouraged when the primary example of configuring a mouse was the MX Revolution, which is the very mouse I would like to get up and running.
However, I was surprised that btnx does nothing on my computer. After digging around, I believe this is because I would need the evdev driver to get the mouse to work. But it seems that evdev does not get along with suse 10.3. It crashes the x server. It is not available on any of the standard repositories. So it looks like suse 10.3 broke btnx, at least as far as evdev devices are concerned.
So the questions are, have I come to the right conclusion? And is there an alternative to the evdev driver that will allow me to configure the mouse?
