USB issues....

So I have a hub on the side on my Diamond Pro Mitsubishi monitor. I had a 2.6.7 kernel compiled and when I powered the monitor off the keyboard and mouse that are both usb would power off...makes sense. Now when I powered the monitor back on the devices would be powered back up and everything would be cool...In a quest for the holly grail, I compiled the latest dev-sources 2.6.8-r3 in a last ditch attempt to get alsa to work with my USB sound blaster extigy. When I power the monitor off and back on the devices are not powered back up...I also tried to plug the mouse directly into the usb slot on the pc and no go same problem. So I was thinking that it may be some issue with hotplug. I unemerged it and reemerged thinking it needed to be built against my new kernel but no dice. If you want to see my .config I could through that up or lsmod. Needless to say I never did find the holy grail

elpierco,

It may be that your USB devices are being allocated new names.
I had the same problem with my mouse and keyboard. I traced it to the mouose that was at /dev/input/mouse0 moving to /dev/input/mouse1.

My keyboard also has a hub, so I boought a USB extension cable and stopped using the monitor for the mouse and keyboard.
