Quick comment/questions:
/etc/modules.autoload does not exist. Instead there is a /etc/autoload.d directory containing subdirs for different kernel families.
I added the modules to the kernel-2.4 as it is the one I am using.
The questions are.
Do I have to run modules-update afterwards ? Or this only take effect on bootup ?
Do I also have to add the modules to /etc/modules.conf ?
Thanks

Well, I am having a different problem. I can't laod usb-uhci. This is what i get:
Code: | # modprobe usb-uhci
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.o: insmod usb-uhci failed |
I tried disabling input, using usbcore as a module and got the same error. I previously had debian running on this machine with usbcore, usb-uhci hid and mousedev (no input) and did not have any problems.
There is another user having a similar problem here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=53537
How do I configure the IO an IRQ parameters ? _________________ http://julian.coccia.com

Finally decided to give it another shot and this time it worked ! Here is my recipe:
This time I went with the UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) (which generates uhci.o instead of usb-uhci.o).
Do not add "uhci" to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 and reboot, otherwise I get e segfault on boot up.
Mouse connects to /dev/input/mice automatically.
I am running on an IBM Thinkpad i Series 1300 model 1171 370. Here is my lsmod result:
Code: | # lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
usb-storage 24184 0 (unused)
prism2_usb 68360 2
p80211 18904 0 [prism2_usb]
usbmouse 2076 0 (unused)
soundcore 4580 0 (unused)
ac97_codec 13420 0 (unused)
i810_audio 27240 1
hid 14920 0 (unused)
mousedev 4344 1

Alright, finally got my mouse set up after rebuilding the kernel close to 10 times...
Tip for nForce 2 users, use OHCI instead of UHCI to save yourself alot of trouble.
Vlad: Maybe you should edit your How-To and tell the nForce 2 users to enable EHCI and OHCI instead of UHCI. I know I'm not the first person to say that nForce 2 uses OHCI, but you didn't reflect in your How-To that we should use OHCI. |

Nice guide, thank you!
My mouse is now working well on my laptop, together with the little pointing device. I was unable to get my PS/2 keyboard (connected via a PS/2 to USB converter) to work though. It shows up in my system logs when I plug it in (see below), and I've got the kernel configured correctly I think. Anything else I can check? It worked from the LiveCD.

Just a heads-up that the "uhci" module (not usb-uhci) is experimental and less thoroughly tested. I personally had problems when using high bandwidth devices (such as a printer/scanner) and the mouse would jump around the screen and finally stop working.
If any of this sounds familiar use usb-uhci.
Cheers! |

I realize this is a really old post but i just tried it now.. i am running gentoox on my xbox and was wanting mouse/keyboard support.. i did all of this but im not sure i did it all right.. since i am not familiar with linux (took some minor courses) i think i need help.. i copyied the bzImage from the /usr/src/linux and put it into my /boot partition changed the boot loader and it all seems to load.. but the problem is things are failing to load now.. my xpad (the xbox controller) fails to load and all the things i added into the kernel fail to load aswell.. i think anyway.. i could only catch a few as the screen scrolls so fast.. any suggestions?.. |

Just a little fyi... I was having a similar problem, which is why i read this forum. and it turned out that the 1.1 usb was working fine.. but my ports were 2.0 so... you can also do this:
In your kernel makeconfig menu under USB Support there is an option to enable EHCI-HCD (USB 2.0) Support. Enable this as a module by hitting M, then..
Code: | make dep && make modules modules_install
modprobe ehci-hcd

I have a Logitech IFeel USB mouse, and I have followed these instructions to the tee, or at least tried my best. First off, these instruction are not in compliance with other kernel releases (other than the one used in this tutorial, of which we have no idea what it is). Half the menu options in the 'make menuconfig' session don't even exist in my kernel config (2.6.12-gentoo-r6). I am at my wits end with this dammed mouse. I have everything else working except it. Any detailed or corrected information would be greatly appreciated.

I have this kernel also and they all exist. You probably have a another option disabled that is blocking some of the options in the how-to. Is plug and play support enabled? |

I have the exact same mouse and have no problems (other than the useless "iFeel" functions not working). If you need any info about my kernel setup, hotplug config, etc... just message me.
Cheers! |

Can anybody help me with the following?
I use an USB keyboard and mouse. As such, I have USBHID compiled into my kernel. But some events from my remote control are also mapped as buttons. The multimedia buttons on my keyboard are mapped as mouse clicks.
Now, is it possible to exclude some devices from USBHID? I used the event interface for interacting with the multimedia buttons and the remote.
If not, then I'll switch to evdev support for my X-Windows. Not being able to use console is only a small pain.
No, I cannot use BIOS support, because my motherboard USB ports are broken and I use a seperate PCI card. |

OK, can anyone help me here:
I'm installing Gentoo on my father's laptop (Acer Aspire 3002) and he and his gf rely heavily on their USB mouse, which I cannot get to work.
It worked in the installation (gpm recognized both the mouse and the trackpad); I compiled USB support in the kernel (not as a module), everything seems to be in order; however, /dev/input/mice seems only to point to the trackpad, and I don't really know what to do.
If the mouse doesn't work, neither will the mp3 player and the camera...
Especially since usbview doesn't seem to see the mouse when I connect it, so I guess I did make a mistake somewhere... _________________ Do not feed the elephant. |
