Thanks to Dmitri, Vojtech, Greg and everyone for your help in identifying the trouble with my USB mouse support.
In the end it turned out that I was building all of the necessary modules into the kernel directly (is there any harm in doing this?), and the problem with my mouse was independent of USB. (For anyone interested, what I had to do was put the correct hardware settings into /etc/sysconfig/mouse, which I was able to do automatically by running mousedrake.) Now that I have that cleared up, one problem remains: every 20-30 minutes I get errors of this sort in my system log: Jan 8 05:07:56 mallard kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 48 Jan 8 05:07:57 mallard kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/1, assigned device number 49 Jan 8 05:07:57 mallard kernel: input2: USB HID v0.01 Keyboard [Alps Electric?M2452 M2452] on usb1:49.0 Jan 8 05:07:57 mallard modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module keybdev Jan 8 05:07:57 mallard /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... can't load module keybdev The device number increments until it reaches 127 and then starts again at 4. I have no problems using the keyboard, except during the couple of seconds that it takes for the error messages to cycle through, during which time the keyboard goes dead. What am I doing wrong? If there's documentation that explains this I'll gladly read it. Thank you once again for all of your help.
