quarx,
You need to fix this
| Code: | | # CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT is not set |
Its called | Quote: | | HID input layer support |
in the kernel config. (I'm looking at 2.4.20, which I still have lying around)
You also need most things under | Quote: | | Input Core Support |
if you don't have them already.
Have you thought about moving to 2.6 ?

yes, it was the missing "HID Input Layer support".
With Protocol "Microsoft" the mouse-movement was kinda strange, switched to "ImPS/2" and everythings working perfect now.
Gentoo I'm coming, juhuuu 
This is my first Gentoo experience (mostly linux in generell). When installing I just typed "emerge gentoo-sources",
not worrieing about the kernel-version. Don't know the difference, just read somewhere that 2.6 is newer and more buggy than the prooven 2.4-series.
I dont know how a 2.6 would interact with my ATI Raedon. For this time,
I just wanna finish the installation/configuration, before I get into more details.
thx for ur help and greez,

quarx,
Kernel vesions 2.4, 2.6 2.8 (when it comes) are 'stable' (there are degrees of stability). 2.3, 2.5 and 2.7 (when it comes) are unstable develpment versions.
2.6 has advantages (and disadvantages) over 2.4.. I'm not an ATI user buut I understand that the ATI video drivers, or lack of, could be one of the disadvantages.
Glad you have it fixed

OK its time for the daft questions.
Your radio USB mouse does 8 radio channes and 2^15 (36,000) security codes. You did follow the instructions to establish the radio link correctly didn't you?
Your substitution test shows everything else is working. |
Yes, the radio mouse works great on other computers and worked great on my last Gentoo install when I had my old motherboard. Still not sure whats going on with it, I would like to get it up and running on this box but my Logitec has been working good in the mean time. |

So I'm going to bump this post I started awhile back since I've been trying to get this mouse to work again lately. I know the mouse works (works fine in windows, worked fine in a previous gentoo install).
lsusb mentions both mice:
| Code: | Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c16:0001 Gyration, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
|
dmesg lists the receiver when I plug it in:
| Code: | usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using address 2
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
input: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver] on usb-0000:00:02.0-1
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: ctrl urb status -32 received
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Gyration GyroPoint RF Technology Receiver] on usb-0000:00:02.0-1 |
lsmod mentions both usbcore and usbhid:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
nvsound 1535208 -
ehci_hcd 24588 -
nvidia_agp 5572 -
joydev 8000 -
nvidia 3467420 -
agpgart 27400 -
usbhid 22248 -
evdev 7328 -
ohci_hcd 15180 -
usbcore 101156 -
psmouse 17872 - |
I'm really stumped on this one. The light on the receiver never comes on. When it worked in the past the receiver light came on and stayed steady until I moved the mouse (then it would blink). I know the computer is recognizing the receiver (it shows up in the dmesg, in the lsusb, and in the /proc/bus/usb/devices) but I never get a light. After some googling I've read other people have had similar issues but never did find a resolution that worked. Anyone have any other thoughts as to things I can try? |
