Hi guys I've just recently decided to move over to debian from redhat and i must say i'm very impressed with deb. Anyway, I started by installing woody (I'm still downloading the unstable images - gonna upgrade as soon as i got all 10), everything went well normal hiccups aside except for one thing. I couldn't get my mouse to work ?! I've got a Microsoft optical USB mouse, but for the sake of linux i plugged it into the PS/2 port using a little USB->PS/2 port connector thingie. X was configured to use /dev/input/mice but to no avail... I then decided to try the 2.6.0 test kernel, because that seemed to fix my tv-card issues on Red Hat previously. Installed the 2.6.0-test3 kernel and viola my mouse works no problem ! I installed the 2.6.0-test5 kernel last night and again the mouse worked no probs. So i thought the latest 2.4 kernel should also work and i installed 2.4.22. No such luck :-(. Damn mouse does not want to start up. (I know immediately if power comes through to the mouse cause the optical light goes on). All the drivers seem to load properly, and i can't really see any difference between the drivers that start for 2.6.0 and 2.4.22, but i don't think i've got enough knowledge to be sure of that. I include the dmesg and proc/devices files for both kernels for you to check as well.
