Hi,
I followed the (official) instructions to set up a usb-mouse until this point:
| Quote: |
Now, unplug the mouse, and plug it back in, and check your kernel log for a message that looks something like this
Code listing 2.6: Kernel Message
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
input0,hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical] on usb1:2.0
Now that the mouse is detected, check /dev/input to make sure that your mouse is there and working.
Code listing 2.7: Checking for USB Mouse
# cd /dev/input
# cat mouse0
Move your mouse when you cat the device, you should see a lot
of garbage.
|
But the problem is that this file won't appear. (It worked already with a previous kernel. The the file appeared suddenly - I can't remember what I've done to manage this: maybe luck  )
the kernel output was not exactly the same. Instead of
"input0,hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse ..." only
"hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse ... " appeared
lsmod showed me following: (excerpt)
keybdev .... (unused)
mousedev .... (unused)
hid .... (unused)
input .... [keybdev mousedev]
nvidia
8139too
/etc/modules.autoload contained modules in the following order:
8139too
nvidia
input
hid
What shall I do so that the input module will work correctly?
----------
ciao, Pythagoras1 |

| Looks like you're missing the USB driver itself - usb-uhci or usb-ohci, depending on your chipset. |

Try this
modprobe usb-uhci
or
modprobe usb-ohci
Perhaps having a look at my post some month ago will help too: Console + Intellimouse Explorer USB Mouse + gpm solution |

Or if you compiled them in your kernel, try recompiling them as modules, that might help as well.

solved! 
I'm using OHCI and it's compiled into kernel but this wasn't the cause.
It's surprisingly called [ ] HID input layer support which I may have overlooked last compiling. The new Kernel is running like a Porsche now.
thx for your help! |
