Hi !
I am using Red Hat 8 with kernel 2.4.20-30.8.legacy.
I got a new Sony Reader/writer Optical Mouse .
How do I detect it in Red Hat 8.0
I did the following :-
modprobe input modprobe hid modrprobe mousedev
I assume the typo here is just in the e-mail and not in what you actually did.
These kernel modules are loaded without error .
Yes. And mousedev is the one you want ... it should object if anything it needs is missing.
But still my usb mouse is not detected .
Attached are my dmesg and message .
1. Please clarify what you mean by "not detected". Do you mean X does not find it? That gpm does not find it? Something else?
2. I notice in the dmesg putput you attached that you are loading a PS/2 mouse driver. So I wonder if you have the appropriate /dev entries for your mouse (/dev/input/mouse0, maybe?), or if /dev/mouse (or whatever variant RH might use. such as /dev/input/mice) is symlinked to the right place. Even if you do, might whatever you are using as the test in (1) be looking for the wrong mouse device?
3. The logs you attached really have only boot/init messages in them. Did you do this modprobe'ing by hand after the boot/init is completed? If so, did you restart whatever you have that runs the mouse afterwards? I see in your log where the core USB stuff is loaded, but not mousedev:
ehci-hcd 00:10.3: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2003-Jan-22
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 6 ports detected
usb.c: registered new driver hiddev
usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all miceMaybe this last entr refers to mousedev; it's hard to tell from the log, and I don't have a similar system here to check.
4. Is your system able to access any other USB devices? If not, might you have the wrong core module (uhci.o or osb-uhci.o or ehci-hcd.o ) for your hardware. (This part is all USB-chipset specific, so consult your kernel documentation and your hardware documentation, or experiment ... oh, I found it in your logs; you are using ehci-usd, and at least it *thinks* it is working.)
4. If you post again, please include the output of "lsmod" and the portions of "lspci -v" that refer to your USB controller.
