kernel-2.6.0-test9 mouse issues
 

Hi all!

I've installed the test9 version of the new kernel to try it out.
No problems with configuring (nice cleanup of menuconfig btw) or compiling.
But when i boot with my fresh kernel it refuses to acknowledge my mouse (IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0). It got to the point where I compiled ALL usb drivers as Modules and when that failed i compiled ALL usb drivers into the kernel. Still didn't work.
When I run dmesg I see no errors concerning USB, but the fishy thing is:
The kernel loads 2 usb drivers (ohci and uhci) and then no more, with the old kernel there were like forty lines (maybe less =) with usb-hubs found and my mouse found. But now, the mouse is dead.
Imagine the fun trying to get to LQ and typing this message. And yes I know I am stupid, I could just have rebooted with the old kernel =)

Other than that the new kernel is really lightning-fast. When the stable comes out it will be a milestone...

So, any ideas?

I installed test11, and cannot get any mouse to work, either usb or my old one. I was so excited to finally get the compile to work, booted... then started X only to find a dead mouse. I rebooted with my old mouse plugged in and still, nothing. I googled about it, and didn't find anything. The mouse works in 2.4.22.

I will keep searching, if I find anything I will post it. Maybe someone can help us.

Thanks,

It is now working for me.
 

I had to recompile my kernel, I had left out OHCI HCD support. Once I enabled that, rebooted, everything was fine... except for my networking, which is now fixed.

I hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll try that...
