-_-- this is getting me so frustrated... yes... i've read a lot of the posts i found... and followed some, and screwed up something else even... okay....
i have logitech navigator duo, nasty sh*t always running out of battery... i connected the mouse using the PS/2 connector, and keyboard is on USB.... it's working fine under windows... but not fine under gentoo... no idea what to do next.. i've tried the menu config stuff over and over again.. i think i am not far from screwing something else over.... *sigh*.... it's such a pain trying  |

Try posting your kernel config file. Use this to get rid of comments / spaces: | Code: | | cat /usr/src/linux/.config | sed -s '/#/d' | sed '/^$/d' |
also, how are you testing to see if your mouse in fact works? are you trying to start an X session, gpm, something else? perhaps the log files can reveal something. |

well, the cursor manages to show up in gnome... and i can even press ctrl to see a box highlighting cursor position. but it just doensn't move.. i am sure the cordless connection is fine. just something else is wrong... i have to use mouse keys... ...brb... let me boot back to lini and grab that log file...  |

| If it's a Logitech you should certainly only plug the usb or plug both PS/2, I don't think it's a good idea to plug both usb and a PS/2, besides PS/2 was invented to plug kbd & mice.[/i] |

Logitech cordless have only on ps2 connector for mouse (at least mine). Try to unplug the ps2 connector and leave only usb.
Also, make sure that the right module is loaded (it's usbhid ->> CONFIG_USB_HID in menuconfig)
it seems to be correct in your kernel config so try the command "dmesg | grep HID" which should give something like:
| Code: | drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:10.3-1
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:10.3-1 |
if you get that, maybe the problem is with xorg's config so try Jerri's solution with gpm to make sure of that.
edit: watching your kernel's config makes me think you should try to clean it a little bit |
