I can't get my usb mouse to work on my x86 box. I've read the other recent relevant threads
on the subject:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=129513

I had a related question, that drifted into this one
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=147461
but thought that it deserved its own thread -- so I started this one right here.
Recently installed Woody 3.0 with the bf24 kernel.
When I try to start icewm, it comes up, but the mouse (usb) and the keyboard (programmable
ps/2 style) are frozen. The relevant portion of my XF86Config-4 is:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
and my /var/log/XFree86.0.log says:
Code:
(II) Keyboard "Generic Keyboard" handled by legacy driver
(**) Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(==) Configured Mouse: Buttons: 3
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
(**) Generic Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2"
(**) Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
(**) Generic Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
No such device.
(EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
lsmod tells me (non-usb material snipped):
Code:
hid 0 (unused)
usbmouse 0 (unused)
input 0 [hid usbmouse keybdev usbkbd]
usb-uhci 0 (unused)
usbcore 0 [hid usbmouse usb-storage usbkbd usb-uhci]
and dmesg tells me the following about usb:

'cat /dev/input/mice' yields "No such device".
'cat /dev/psaux' just sits there doing nothing (even while I'm moving and clicking the mouse)
until I ctrl-c out of it.
Also, lspci yields:

00:07.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 16)
