Re: [newbie] USB Mouse problem

Rob. This is mine: Section "InputDevice"     Identifier "Mouse1"     Driver "mouse"     Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"     Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"     Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection Not sure what that gets set to when I log in, but after selecting the mouse that's what it's set to. This is an Evoluent Vertical mouse. # cat /etc/modules.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# hmm Nothing there. It worked _perfect_ during the installation of MDK 10.1 recently but never works first off when I boot up. dmesg says: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) ohci_hcd: block sizes: ed 64 td 64 ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: OHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:02.0 to 64 ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: irq 12, pci mem f89e5000 ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: OHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:02.1 to 64 ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: irq 11, pci mem f89e7000 ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 2-0:1.0: 3 ports detected usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 2 ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: EHCI Host Controller PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:02.2 to 64 ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: irq 5, pci mem f89f2000 ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 PCI: cache line size of 64 is not supported by device 0000:00:02.2 ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2004-May-10 hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 3-0:1.0: 6 ports detected usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -110 EXT3 FS on hdb2, internal journal ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 4 kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds usbcore: registered new driver hiddev EXT3 FS on hdb9, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

I have seen some people recommend turning off APIC to fix some problem like this, but I can't. If I change anything in Bootmenu, I get an error because /boot/message-graphic /boot/message and /boot/map are all missing.

I have to log on using keyboard only, then use Cursor keys and enter and tab to change the mouse to something else, eg PS2 then I can change it back to PS2/USB and everything is fine. Next time I boot up, it is broken again. Tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand to /dev/input/mice but that does nothing. My USB mouse is grabbed at boot every time, no fail for many moons. here is my XF86Config mouse section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection It is a Logitech Digital Mouse with scroll wheel. You also should check that your USB modules are loading in boot. If I am not mistaken, that will be in modules.conf, I guess I am mistaken, as that and modules are both empty. I have little idea how udev handles it. But I will say that its working for me. Rob
