Hi

Read http://source.android.com/tech/input/touch-devices.html creating a device of type pointer will probably do what you want.

As for "hardware" support of the mouse this is typically something already present in the kernel.

Mouse support exists since Honeycomb, you need just to enable it in
kernel.

Hi all,

have met the same problem.

I have ported Android 4.0.3 to a new chip without touchpad, the USB
keyboard can work, I can use ctrl + M to enter into the "setting" menu.

but the USB mouse can not work, I can not see any mouse icon in the
screen.

Does anyone know why?

thanks in advance

There are at least two way's of doing this

You can read the serial data in a normal userland program and use uinput to push events back into the kernel, alternatively you can 

try and follow the inputattach road see http://groups.google.com/group/android-x86/tree/browse_frm/month/2010-05/24b5684f44f33050?rnum=181&lnk=nl
