Now, this may sound stupid but it's working (?) for me. I've got everything compiled in, running ck-sources. I've had the same thing with hardware sometimes working and sometimes not, after recompiling with what I believe to be the same config - also showing usb, hid, even the mouse itself in dmesg. Anyway, for the mouse, have you tried plugging it in after everything is started? The Gentoo Desktop Configuration Guide says the mouse has to be plugged in when xfree86 starts up but it doesn't for me cause I use it as an auxillary mouse. Anyway, if I plug it in after the system has already started I never have a problem. However, if it's plugged in when the system starts up, I usually can't use it unless I plug it into a different USB port and then change back again. Weird! I suggest to try the following: <unplug your mouse> <boot up> /etc/init.d/xfs stop <plug in your mouse> /etc/init.d/xfs start Of course, if this does work for you, it's definately not a fix. Just a terrible, terrible hack. Let me know if it works or if you do figure out what is going on. Jason Thanks J. I tried this as well to no avail. Like Isaid, before when it worked, it lit up from the moment thecomputer was turned on. Now nothing regardless of what I do. I truley cannot believe this:( Perfect instyall up til damn mouse configuration. Is it the Kernel, Gentoo's patches, or me? I will try vanilla-sources next. Shit, I can't do that unless I oatch with xfs. This is more headache than it should be. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
