hid and usb-uhci modules won't load.

[Zero Hour]

I've recompiled the kernel and I was going by a forum entry on installing a usb mouse. I went by the directions as far as I know and rebooted but hid and usb-uhci don't automatically load and when I modprobe them it says insmod hid (or usb-uhci) failed and i get some errors behind it about unresolved symbol.

At reboot I also noticed after my last recompile that it says Calculating module independcies and then it gives an error saying it can't.

If anyone could help with this I'd greatly appreciate it. I can't find my serial mice and I'm kinda set on getting this usb to work one way or another cause I'd like to aslo have my PDA going with gentoo.

try compiling those buggers directly into the kernel... unless you _need_ modules.

If you have unresolved symbols in your kernel modules then I think there is no other option than making a 'make mrproper' (beware this deletes your .config too) and recompile kernel and modules.

K i got the thing about makin em builtin. tried it, It didn't work. I got undefined reference to input_event and things like that. I believe it was at the point of doing HID. So it error'd ouw and still doesn't work.

f you have unresolved symbols in your kernel modules then I think there is no other option than making a 'make mrproper' - That I don't understand.

Are you sure uhci is the right module for you? If it's not working then you might want to try ohci, such as if you have an SiS chipset (like me ). It won't hurt to try even if you aren't sure.

please cut and paste the exact error and send it here. you probably need to enable something else in your kernel.

Well I can't paste what happens unless I go back in and purposely regenerate those errors now. I set em back as modules and just took them outta autoload for a bit til I figure out why I'm getting errors.

And YES Uhci is the one I want as I have a Via chipset.

And even then I don't know how to copy and paste it...

doh, I forgot you dont have a mouse. probably not to easy to cut and paste.
does `modprobe mousedev usb-uhci hid usbcore` say anything?

cya,

[dcstimm]

make sure you compile in input core support

and under that you will see mouse support,

then make sure you add

Support for USB
Preliminary USB device File System
UHCI support
USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
**HID input layer support** this is a new option It has stumped alot of people

then add this to /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
