What does /var/log/messages show after these lines, dmesg and messages should show the same kernel messages in the same order? Does it show that either hid-core, or usbmouse are being dropped for some reason? When your mouse is in a non-detected mode, what does lsmod say? are hid-core or usbmouse there? lsmod output: usbmouse                4256  0 usbcore               103172  7 hci_usb,usbmouse,usbhid,ehci-hcd,ohci-hcd This is earlier in /var/log/messages : Mar 26 08:53:10 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: ### Program is starting ### Mar 26 08:53:15 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: running: /sbin/modprobe hid Mar 26 08:53:15 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: running: /sbin/modprobe -n hid Mar 26 08:53:15 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: running: /sbin/modprobe mousedev Mar 26 08:53:15 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: running: /sbin/modprobe -n mousedev Mar 26 08:53:17 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/mouse Mar 26 08:53:17 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: symlinked file usbmouse to /dev/mouse Mar 26 08:53:17 dhcppc66 mousedrake[4107]: symlinked file input/mice to /dev/usbmouse This, more recently: Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: 3 ports detected Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: EHCI Host Controller Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: irq 5, pci mem f89f2000 Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:02.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 1.00, driver 2004-May-10 Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: 6 ports detected Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 3 Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Macally Peripherals  Evoluent Optical USB/PS2 Vertical Mouse ] on usb-0000:00 :02.0-1 Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbmouse Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: drivers/usb/input/usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver Mar 28 16:27:54 starbug kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 The full output of lsmod: Module                  Size  Used by isofs                  31352  1 md5                     3584  1 ipv6                  230916  12 nls_cp437               5312  2 nls_iso8859-1           3680  2 smbfs                  60792  3 rfcomm                 32348  8 snd-seq-midi            6624  0 snd-emu10k1-synth       6656  0 snd-emux-synth         34976  1 snd-emu10k1-synth snd-seq-virmidi         5632  1 snd-emux-synth snd-seq-midi-emul       7200  1 snd-emux-synth snd-seq-oss            31232  0 snd-seq-midi-event      6080  3 snd-seq-midi,snd-seq-virmidi,snd-seq-oss snd-seq                47440  8 snd-seq-midi,snd-emux-synth,snd-seq-virmidi,snd-seq-midi-emul,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event snd-pcm-oss            49480  0 snd-mixer-oss          17376  1 snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1            90728  2 snd-emu10k1-synth snd-rawmidi            19300  3 snd-seq-midi,snd-seq-virmidi,snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm                81800  2 snd-pcm-oss,snd-emu10k1 snd-timer              20356  2 snd-seq,snd-pcm snd-seq-device          6344  7 snd-seq-midi,snd-emu10k1-synth,snd-emux-synth,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-emu10k1,snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec         69392  1 snd-emu10k1 snd-page-alloc          7400  2 snd-emu10k1,snd-pcm snd-util-mem            3232  2 snd-emux-synth,snd-emu10k1 snd-hwdep               6916  2 snd-emux-synth,snd-emu10k1 snd                    45988  15 snd-emux-synth,snd-seq-virmidi,snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-pcm-oss,snd-mixer-oss,snd-emu10k1,snd-rawmidi,snd-pcm,snd-timer,snd-seq-device,snd-ac97-codec,snd-hwdep soundcore               7008  1 snd af_packet              16072  2 eepro100               26316  0 mii                     4224  1 eepro100 ide-cd                 37280  1 cdrom                  37724  1 ide-cd loop                   12520  0 nls_iso8859-15          4224  6 ntfs                  147964  5 hidp                   11296  2 l2cap                  19876  10 rfcomm,hidp nvidia-agp              5788  1 agpgart                27752  1 nvidia-agp hci_usb                10912  5 bluetooth              39076  12 rfcomm,hidp,l2cap,hci_usb joydev                  8032  0 tsdev                   5824  0 evdev                   7648  0 usbmouse                4256  0 usbhid                 41088  0 ehci-hcd               26244  0 ohci-hcd               18468  0 usbcore               103172  7 hci_usb,usbmouse,usbhid,ehci-hcd,ohci-hcd ext3                  120680  5 jbd                    49080  1 ext3
