 Posted: Wed May 15, 2002 3:30 am Post subject: USB Mouse and ALSA Sound |
 |
|
I am having some difficulty with my USB mouse. It was working fine a while ago, but now whenever I reboot it doesn't work. I have to 'rmmod usb-uhci' and then wait a couple of seconds and them 'modprobe usb-uhci' After that, everything works fine but it doesn't work after a reboot. Any ideas.
I have a feeling the next thing is somewhat related. I had sound working before too (I can't trace back to what point it was working) and now my snd-emu10k1 module says it's failing to load. Is there somewhere in Gentoo that I can look to see why it's not loading?
Thanks.

| You might want to try compiling usb and hid support as yes(*) rather than a module. that is what I did. |

What is in your modules.autoload?
Could be the file got overwritten recently.
If you have any of the ALSA modules such as snd-pcm-oss or snd-mixer-oss being loaded here then the ALSA driver (the new 0.9 version) will fail to load.
All of my USB is as modules:
hid, mousedev, input, usb-uhci, usbcore |

Oops, I have the following in my modules.autoload
I'm not at my linux box but I'll try that.
As to the USB, I've got it ALL compiled as modules... I'll keep digging and post back if I get a fix.

I put the snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss modules into the /etc/init.d/alsasound file. See the two lines labelled # mod for oss.
I have an SBLive as well (works great). Need snd-pcm-oss for Jedi Outcast, and snd-mixer-oss for completeness (oss volume control in XMMS)
| Code: | ....
#
# insert all sound modules
#
ebegin "Initialising ALSA."
drivers="`/sbin/modprobe -c | \
grep -E "^[[:space:]]*alias[[:space:]]+snd-card-[[:digit:]]" | \
awk '{print $3}'`"
for i in $drivers; do
if [ "$i" != off ]; then
einfon "Starting sound driver: $i "
/sbin/modprobe $i
/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss # mod for oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss # mod for oss
eend 0
fi
done
#
.... |
It might not be a snazzy way of doing it, but it does the job for me.
Good luck with the rodent! |
