Re: [gentoo-user] USB mice in Xfree -still not working

[Matt Darland]

	This likely isn't your problem, but for others following this thread, 
I found some documentation in the 
/usr/src/Linux/Documentation/usb/ehci(?).txt while trying to get my USB 
mouse to work under X.

	Basically( and this is by memory ), support for serial/character( e.g. 
mice ) oriented devices doesn't work if the device is connected to an 
external USB 2.0 hub.  You have to plug the mouse into the 'root' USB 
connector on the motherboard/PCI card.  If you try to cat such a device 
file you'll see a message in the system log about a transaction type 
not supported.
