You're correct. If the kernel doesn't know the mouse exists, don't bother with X (yet). Do you see the mouse with cat /proc/bus/usb/devices? And if you see it there, does it work after you did that? My Mitsumi USB mouse using the hid module doesn't work until I look at /proc/bus/usb/devices, so I stuffed that in one of the hotplug scripts. Regards... Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Never looked there nor ran across any references suggesting that. It's back in the *working* PS2 port for now... I'll save your message 'til later when I give it a go again.

hi all! you don't have the usbmouse module installed. -Paul use *either* USBMOUSE or HID Hall right guys, i picked hid because knoppix recognizes and can use my mouse without any problem and lsmod gives: mousedev hid usbcore input usb-uhci i tried them, even copied them from knoppix pre-built, but nothing. dmesg shows that the usb subsystem understands i have a MS Optical Wheel Mouse as soon as i plug it in. Post information from /etc/X11/XF86config regarding you mouse. This is an example of mine. It works for both my laptop and home system.

Cox mine is exactly the same, though i think that the problem is somewhat above X, since # cat /dev/input/mice doesn't show any understanig of my mouse movements. i'll try to recompile the kernel with a different usb config...but it's kinda desperate action, since i have no idea what i shall change :-/ nice weekends to everyone! you're very supportive, guys Roberto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
