Hi there

Trying to configure my USB busmouse (logitech cordless). I tried a cat on /dev/mice and nothing happened when i moved the mouse. I switched to the kernel messages and unplugged/plugged the usb reciever back in - still, it didnt come back with anything. I cant find the answer anywhere. Any ideas?

Cheers

Offie

Should be /dev/input/mice on 2.6x and if it's not working then try looking over your kernel config.

dang nav it - still havnt managed to sort it. Could I trouble someone to tell me:

A - Which modules i need to enable in the kernel config (2.6.5 Kernel)
B - Whether they need to be integrated into the kernel, or installed as modules.

Cheers

I theory it should not matter but in practice when USB is built in kernel there sometimes problems with suspend. Also, I have heard rumors that if you have USB 2.0 it is better to have ehci-hcd and uhci-hcd build as modules and have ehci-hcd loaded first, then uhci-hcd.

You may also try booting with acpi turned off (acpi =off) as sometimes acpi bothes IRQ routing...
