Haven't we seen this message before? I could swear I've
replied to it once already.... in any event, as you stated
yourself, YOU applied a PATCH to RedHat to get USB support
on your mouse. It wasn't anything **RedHat** did!
USB support in Linux is VERY limited at this point. You
might try using the same patch that you used with RedHat to
get USB support, but you might manage to make things
worse... don't know.
