I would expect the bf24 kernel to have the modules. lookin at the config file it does. So, for me it was pretty easy, I migrated my laptop to 2.4.20 a couple days ago and usb was a snap(about as easy as with 2.2.x. what i did: modprobe hid modprobe mousedev that loaded the drivers for my logitech mouseman marble wheel. I already had my device, I use /dev/usbmouse: crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Feb 17 2002 /dev/usbmouse that would be: mknod /dev/usbmouse c 13 63 then I configured X to use this device and it worked fine. I already had X configured since I had usb workin in 2.2.19 as well. I don't have my USB load on boot, it seems to conflict with my sound, so I only load it when I need it. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
