USB Mouse stops working after kernel 2.6.24 upgrade (debian etch)
Hi
I was running std Debian Etch (on 2.6.18) and upgraded to Debian 2.6.24 kernel from Testing repository (to get some new DVB options in theory) . Of all the trivial peripherals, my USB mouse has now stopped working (USB storage was also not automounting for a while I seem to have got that working now) Mouse is defintely recognised by the system: lsusb: Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 002: ID 047d:101f Kensington PocketMouse Pro Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 dmesg: when connecting mouse: usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Some posts seem to suggest I need an explicit mention in Xorg (some say none are necessary) Anyway tried this in Xorg.conf without success: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection (Synaptics touchpad working OK ) So what has radically changed between kernels (note I didn't make a complete upgrade to Testing as my boot partition free diskspace is critically low despite apt-get clean and purges) using Gnome 2.14.3 thanks for any insight. |
to free up space in /boot you would need to purge some old kernels. I would hold on to 2.6.18 until you get all your issues worked out with the new kernel, and get rid of anything older..
i.e. aptitude purge linux-image-2.6.XX-686 Not sure what is causing your mouse issue |
