 |
|
I have just installed Gnome but my USB mouse is not recognised.
It is an optical USB mouse and the light on the base is not even lighting up.
I have rebooted but it is still dead.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get it going?

I did
| Code: | | lspci -v | grep HCI |
and it returned
| Code: | 00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
00:06.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) |
How do I check that my kernel has OHCI HCD support and recompile it? |

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
then find the USB section (it's under Device drivers). |

| Also make sure Human Interface Device (HID Support) is enabled in the kernel in order for an USB mouse/keyboard to function properly. |
