hello;

i'd like to use my intelli usb mouse as an usb-device.

i enabled following options in my kernel-2.4.20-config-file
generic usb-support
mouse-support for usb.
hid-blah

but:

my dmesg sais:
unknown device ...
what did i wrong?

/*

I have my USB mouse working.

I don't remember right now, but I think that I had to emerge hotplug to do so.

I seem to have responded to USB mouse questions a dozen times already.. There are many search results for "usb mouse", but here goes anyway:

Compile in "Input Core Support", "Mouse Support".
Compile in "USB Support", "USB Human Interface Device (Full HID)" (not just mouse support), as well as "HID input layer support."
Edit: Don't forget to compile in your USB controller (UHCI or OHCI).
Enjoy
