 |
|
I am not sure what is going on but my usb mouse is not working in gentoo.
I have googled for a solution but didn't find one.
lsusb is finding the receiver however the mouse does not work in either x windows or the console (gpm).
the same mouse works in windows. They were working and just stopped.
lsusb output:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
any ideas?
Thanks
John

You need this driver either compiled into the kernel or compiled as a module
If you upgraded your kernel recently, the drivers were changed which would explain why it worked and now it doesn't.
| Code: | Symbol: HID_LOGITECH_DJ [=y]
│ Type : tristate
│ Prompt: Logitech Unifying receivers full support
│ Defined at drivers/hid/Kconfig:248
│ Depends on: HID_SUPPORT [=y] && HID [=y] && HID_LOGITECH [=y]
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> HID Devices (HID_SUPPORT [=y])
│ -> Special HID drivers
│ -> Logitech devices (HID_LOGITECH [=y]) |
Check that and let me know if it fixes things

Thank you for your help. I thought that I looked over the kernel but I guess not.
I just got finished downloading the latest kernel; 3.2.9. I guess this is new with the 3.2 series kernels.
Building it now. I will report back I'm sure with a working mouse. Thanks again odin68. |
