xorg unable to detect usb mouse
Hi all!
I am using Slackware on a laptop. I recently upgraded my kernel to the 2.6.10 kernel I have found in the /testing directory inside the second Slackware CD. Since then, xorg and gpm don't autodetect my mouse like they have done before. It is a Logitech mouse plugged into the first of my three usb ports. As my Laptop really benefits from the 2.6.10 kernel I do not want to change the kernel. I can use my Touchpad, but it would be cool if my mouse would work. Please help. Regards, athanatos. |
Maybe it's just a problem in new kernel device setting.
When do you run Code:
dmesg | grep ^input If you do, you can get proper devices f.E. in Handlers section of Code:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices If don't, try to load kernel module for your mouse type. Logitech alone don't say anyting but if it's PS/2 mouse try Code:
modprobe psmouse Sorry I don't use Slackware's stock 2.6.x kernel package so I don't know now exactly what hardware support is compiled in. |

Make sure you have all the proper USB modules loaded from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules . Unless you built them into your kernel yourself, they aren't loaded by default.
edit: You probably also need PCMCIA. AFAIK this is not built in to the 2.6 generic kernel. I would advise taking the 2.6 generic kernel config file, and using it as a starting point to add everything you need, and compile a custom 2.6 kernel. |
