SuSE 8.2 & USB Optical Wheelmouse no longer working
I wonder if someone has seen this behaviour before:-
I have usb speakers, mouse, card reader, 4 port un-powered ext. usb bus. All of these work perfectly in either Win98 or Linux. Suddenly the mouse no longer works in Linux, yet in Windows it-s still fine. I have rebooted several times. Into windows, everything OK, back into Linux, everything EXCEPT the mouse. The way things are attached:- 2 Motherboard USB slots:- 1 takes just card/reader 2 has the 4-port bus with mouse and speakers I thought perhaps I need to have a external powered USB bus. However I also have Knoppix V3.2 Lo and behold I booted with that and sure enough the Microsoft USB Optical Wheel Mouse is recognised and starts no problem................ Can this really be a problem restricted to my SuSE 8.2 distribution I wonder. |
Have a look in the YaST control centre/hardware/mouse model.....and set it to intellimouse aux-port..........this is what mine is set to.

Tried that with no better response. I have just sorted it late this afternoon with a powered USB 2.0 hub with 4 slots. So I have removed all 3 USB items, speakers, mouse, and card-reader and the USB 2.0 unit is plugged into the computer and everything else into that external hub.
Result is everything works.....so far. |
