USB optical mouse NOT working
 
Hi all,

I just reinstalled Fedora Core 1 but now my USB optical mouse now does NOT work! (It used to before the reinstall)

Here's what I have tried so far, without success, to get the mouse working:

Using the various types of mouse in redhat-config-mouse (both text and GUI-enabled), plugging and unplugging before and after X server has loaded, enabling/disabling both kudzu and gpm services in different sequences and banging my mouse on the table. <-- okaaay, I didn't really do the last one... hehe =)

If you can help me resolve my problem, that would be much appreciated!!

Does Fedora come with a "Add/Remove Hardware" like Windows and SuSE (even if it's a 3rd-party software)?



Best Regards,

hi doublejoon,

do you know how i can make "modprobe uhci" automatic?

also, is there a way to remove my current mouse driver, so tat kudzu can redetect my USB optical mouse & load the correct driver correctly? (or perhaps this doesnt matter?)

coz' i found out that i have to log in as root, and "modprobe uhci" upon every reboot...


regards,

Well have a looksy in your /etc/modprobe.conf and add "uhci" behind an alias line


ex: alias eth0 usb-controller....etc etc

so in your case

alias uhci

serial optical mouse not working
 
I tried "modprobe uhci_hcd" but still by mouse didnt lighted up. When mouse button is clicked cursor moves in upper right corner.
I also checked xorg.conf , in that file Zmapping setting is also correct. Also checked protocol its, "IMPS/2" option "CorePointer" "true". but still mose not working.
I have CentOS 4.1 installed on my PC. Ealier on MANDRIVA it was working fine.

The uhci_hcd module is for usb disk drives. The "hid" and "usbcore" modules are used for usb mice:
Code:
lsmod | grep hid
usbhid                69792  0
usbcore              148064  6 uhci_hcd,usbhid,usb_storage,ndiswrapper,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd
