 Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:13 am Post subject: [SOLVED] USB mouse on nForce3 not working |
 |
|
I can't get my usb mouse to work. The message at bootup or when I insert the mouse later in "dmesg" is something like "hub X: Can't enable port Y. Maybe the cable is bad?"
I tried different kernels (2.4.27, 2.6.9, 2.6.10), udev and devfs, hotplug and manually inserting the module, different BIOS-settings, nothing works. The driver in question is OHCI.
My hardware is a MSI K8N NEO FSR mobo and a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. I know that the hardware works because under Windows my mouse works.
BTW, this is not a Gentoo specific problem, I tried Knoppix 3.7 and I got the same problems.
Anybody any ideas what I can do?
Thanks, MadEagle

make sure you have usb enabled in the bios.
| Code: |
[~] dmesg|grep oh
ohci_hcd: 2004 Nov 08 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: OHCI Host Controller
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: irq 4, pci mem 0xfc003000
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: OHCI Host Controller
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: irq 4, pci mem 0xfc004000
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
usb 1-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2

this is usb1, if you plug the mouse into a usb2 port in the mobo, it wont work unless you enable usb2 in the bios and in the kernel.

USB is enabled in the BIOS otherwise it wouldn't work under Windows. I can see that the driver is loading and I can see different port and hub numbers if I plug the mouse into different USB ports. |

Found it. It was a problem with the wiring to the front side usb connectors. If I disconnect them everything works as expected.
Thanks for your help. |
