USB Devices not working :(
Hey there,
just installed Slackware 9.0, and im pretty happy with that (im a newbie, tho) Im working on a Gericom Per4mance Radeon Notebook with following stats: P4 2,53ghz 512mb RAM Radeon Mobility 9000 and so on .... dont think the rest is important ;) After fighting with the graphics i cant get my mouse working - i got 4 USB slots, but none of them work - i think Linux is in trouble with the USB bus (or so). It works fine with RH9, even if i got an error message on boot ... Any infos missing? Im a noob, so i dont know how to fetch the error ;( Help me please!! Huge thanx ... |
First of all, check whether any USB modules
have been loaded ... lsmod What type of USB has that box got? 1.1 or 2? Cheers, Tink |
Hey there,
thanx for an answer :D lsmod shows me this: bash-2.05b# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted CDCEther 11868 0 (unused) ntfs 51040 1 (autoclean) keybdev 1952 0 (unused) mousedev 4212 0 (unused) hid 18596 0 (unused) usbmouse 2008 0 (unused) input 3200 0 [keybdev mousedev hid usbmouse] ohci1394 16264 0 (unused) ieee1394 30828 0 [ohci1394] i810_audio 21160 1 ac97_codec 9512 0 [i810_audio] soundcore 3332 2 [i810_audio] usb-ohci 18856 0 (unused) usbcore 58144 1 [CDCEther hid usbmouse usb-ohci] ds 6568 1 yenta_socket 9632 1 pcmcia_core 38112 0 [ds yenta_socket] ide-scsi 8048 0 sis900 13484 1 Mhm, afaik they are USB 2! Do you know where the bootlog is located? That thing shows me dozens of errors ... |
Just type
dmesg Or, if that is too much recent output (some errors keep repeating :}) look in /var/log files of interest would be messages syslog debug If it's USB 2, try unloading ohci modprobe -r usb-ohci and loading ehci modprobe ehci-hcd Cheers, Tink |
Wahoow, good news!
this is what dmesg | grep usb showed me (before doing anything) bash-2.05b$ dmesg | grep usb usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb.c: deregistering driver usbdevfs usb.c: deregistering driver hub usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe4910000, IRQ 9 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.0, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe4912000, IRQ 11 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.1, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#2) usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe4914000, IRQ 10 usb-ohci.c: usb-00:03.2, Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 7001 (#3) usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x46d/0xc012) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: registered new driver usb_mouse input0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse on usb2:2.0 usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver usb.c: registered new driver hiddev usb.c: registered new driver hid usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 15:38:38 Mar 11 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:03.1-1 address 2 input0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse on usb2:3.0 usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 15:38:38 Mar 11 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 15:38:38 Mar 11 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver usb.c: registered new driver CDCEther usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:03.1-1 address 3 input0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse on usb2:4.0 i like the last msg - Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse on usb2:4.0 - looks good! Seems as if USB works (changing the USB slots changes dmesg's output) !! The only question is: how can i activate the mouse without reinstalling? --- edit ---- I think usb-ohci works - i can load it without any error msgs; ehci-hcd keeps telling me this (i think thats the same msg i got while booting) bash-2.05b# modprobe ehci-hcd /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/usb/hcd/ehci-hcd.o.gz: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/usb/hcd/ehci-hcd.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

You might have to do a search on
USB and mouse here .... I don't use any usb rodents but recall that people had to symlink something from either /dev/input or /dev/usb to /dev/mouse to get their USB mice to work... Cheers, Tink |
Yeah, got it! Everything works fine now - the touchpad and the USB mouse at the same time!
Heres a part of my XF86Config : ------------ start ---------------- Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse1" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ps/2" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse2]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" Screen "Screen 1" EndSection --------- end ------------- mouse1 is the touchbad; mouse2 the usb mouse. Dont forget to add InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" to the Section ServerLayout! This means that the Touchpad is the Core Device (CorePointer) and the USB-Mouse kinda support-mouse - it moves the same Pointer! (SendCoreEvents) Huge thanx Tinkster - you safed my hd from another format :D |
Glad I could throw you a few pointers mate,
pleased to see you're all happy now :} Cheers, and God bless, Tink |
