USB Mouse Support


Hello,

I am running Debian (sarge) and I want to get my USB mouse working, instead of my shitty ps/2 touchpad. It was working before when I was running the 2.4 kernel that shipped with the distro, however I built my own kernel (2.6.13.1) and now it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Hi,
My usb mouse also doesnt work, and, it did when i was using the 2.4 kernel. Can you tell me how you fixed it? Is it a problem in the 2.6 kernel?

Go and install modules for basically every USB Host controller, thats what I did. I forgot to compile a driver for my USB host controller with the new kernel. That is all.
