I recently switched to 2.6.1 and in the same time bought a new Asus A7N8X Deluxe.
My problem is that my USB-mouse doesn't work when i load the ehci-hcd and the ohci-hcd and the hid modules. I tried without adding any moduys att all, and the mouse started working, but had some nasty stuff going on.
Sometimes it just started freaking out completely, most often when I pushed down a button on the keyboard, shift for instance.

I've tried the uhci too, but it doesn't work.
People have asked this before, but i've tried some of the solutions, but none worked.
I have the USB mouse Enabled in BIOS too.

Thanks and I hope someone can help me. X just isn't the same without a mouse :)

Couple of things-

Do you have module-init-tools installed?

Is the Bios option you refer to the one where you can get a USB mouse to emulate a PS/2 mouse? If yes, you want to disable that option.

What is the output of lsmod?

What does your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 look like?

Do you have /dev/input/mice created by devfs at boot?

At the console, do you get characters appearing when you move the mouse after doing cat /dev/input/mice?

Did you remember to compile devfs support into the kernel and select the option to mount it at boot time?

What does the "Input Device" Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config look like?

module-init-tools is installed, but development-sources is not. Problem with the emerge.

No characters when i cat device. lsmod shows all uchi_hcd, ohci_hcd, echi_hcd but none of them are used by anything.

I hade compiled devfs into the kernel, and it is mounted at boot time..
The XF86 looks like:

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

I just wanted to say a friend of mine solved it for me!

I had to have the even and t interface installed through the kernel (as a module, probably works implemented to).

then I used both ehci-hcd, ohci-hcd, hid and evdev.. now my lsmod reads:
Code:

nvidia               2078216  12
ohci_hcd               19392  0
evdev                  10496  0
rtc                    14600  0
hid                    25728  0
ehci_hcd               25028  0


:oops:

thanks for the help!

Do you have the hid module loaded _after_ you load the uhci-hcd etc modules? (I don't have USB 2 on my mobo so I only use that one). The sequence in which you load the modules is important.
