Hi all, Please ignore what I wrote... it appears that plugging in another USB mouse has solved the problem. Somewhere during a reboot, the original USB mouse must have somehow "fried" itself...
Sorry for wasting your time... ...Ric ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ric de France <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 02-Dec-2006 21:03 Subject: connect-debounce failed and USB mouse has stopped working To: Gentoo Mailing Lists <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org> Hi all, I recently upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r3 and my USB mouse has stopped working. Doing some minor digging with dmesg gives me this: hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled I've had a look at what google's given me, and had a quick look in the forums.gentoo.org and haven't found a way to fix it. It was working in gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8, so I thought I'd reboot back to that kernel to find that the USB mouse still was now not working in that older kernel. Since I'm using a laptop, the touchpad is still OK, but not using my USB mouse is annoying... USB printing (via CUPS to HP8200), and USB memory keys still seem to be OK when plugged in... Is this a problem with the new kernel, or is it due to me not rebooting my system after several "emerge worlds"? Any suggestions to go forward?
