 Posted: Sun Mar 21, 2004 1:02 am Post subject: USB help needed |
 |
|
First time Gentoo install - everything went fairly smoothly. Now I'm trying to get a USB mouse working and I'm not having any luck. I've done a lot of searching on the forums and with google but haven't been able to solve my problem. I am able to use this mouse with a serial/USB adapter so the mouse definitely works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kernel = 2.6.3
As much as is possible is compiled into modules that are loaded by /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Being new to this, I do not know how to confirm that compiled-in code is actually there (e.g. mousedev).
I have read that you need usbcore, uhci_hcd, hid, mousedev, and input
mousedev and input are compile into the kernel (though being new to this I do not know how you confirm that), and here's the output from lsmod
| Code: | Module Size Used by
hid 24640 -
uhci_hcd 30416 -
usbcore 102300 -
forcedeth 14208 -
|
Kernel .config (only relevant uncommented lines for brevity)
| Code: | CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_USB=m
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
|
and /etc/fstab - the /proc/bus/usb directory was created, however there are no devices or drives subdirectories and I do not see any activity when I plug in the USB mouse
| Code: | none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

Thanks |

| Try compiling your kernel with OHCI_HCD support as modular, then unload your uhci_hcd module and loading the ohci_hcd one. After that unplug and re-plug your USB device and look for the relevant lines in the 'dmesg' output. |
