I'm having no luck in getting a USB Mouse to work...
/etc/fstab reports:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
On boot up into a Knoppix 2.4.20-xfs kernel I always get...
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 18:50:40 Nov 15 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xfce0, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver
with the mouse plugged in when I boot, I additionally get...
usb.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x45e/0x39) is not claimed by any active driver usb.c: registered new driver hiddev usb.c: registered new driver hid usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame # 231 input0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [ Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)] on usb1:2.0 hid-core.c: v1.81.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
lsmod reports the additional modules keybdev, hid, mousedev and input in addition to usbcore and usb-uhci that are always there.
As far as I can tell the mouse is recognised (albeit a Microsoft mouse borrowed from work...!?), so what more do I need to do to get it working?
Using my 2.4.22 kernel I get a complaint of failed attempt to load keybdev, but then, I disabled that in my kernel compilation. Why do I need keybdev for a mouse anyway?!
Get rid of that failure by adding a dir to your /etc/modutils, like /etc/modutils/local and put in there:
# Special actions to get rid of keybdev... # #Linux.debian.user 11/12/2003 13:16 # #Kjetil Kjernsmo #Astrophysicist/IT Consultant/Skeptic/Ski-orienteer/Orienteer/Mountaineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] #Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC # #The advice I got was to add above hid usbcore #to /etc/modutils/local (or somewhere equivalent).
I added the comments of where I got the advice...

Thanks...
