Hi I have just got a USB mouse and cannot get the USB port working. I'm using kernel 2.4.17 that a friend helped me compile to get my sound working. I think USB support is compiled in, and I would like to avoid recompiling the kernel if possible since I have no idea how we got the sound working in the first place and do not want to try it again.
Thus two questions: 1) From the data below, can anyone tell me whether USB is compiled correctly into the kernel ? 2) If it is how do I get it working ? I have woody and installed hotplug from the unstable tree. cat /proc/pci gives my USB controller as: USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 3). IRQ 11. Master Capable.
