I'm trying to install a microsoft usb intellimouse and have followed every link to have this done and actually go it working for one session, but now it simply does not lit again... I did disable plug&play from the bios and that seemed to work at that time but now I get the same problem:

[root@enrique ~]# dmesg | grep usb

I did change my XF86Config file to:

...
Section "ServerLayout"
#
Identifier "Anaconda Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "GlidePointPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
...

The mouse works on MS. Let me know if more information would be required... I appreciate your knowledge.

Tks!

Why do you have two mouse sections? Try removing all of these:

I have two because I would like to have the external mouse and the built-in mouse to use at the same time... but the problem I think is that it's that the usb mouse in not being recognized... don't know if this would have to do anything with IRQ or something else????

OK... so is the intellimouse mouse0 or mouse1?

I read that you could have both of them working using...

InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"

but still... mouse1 is not even being detected... I could try to comment mouse0 but I don't think this will do the trick since mouse1 is not even being detected...

usb.c: failed to set device 3 default configuration (error=-110)

usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)

sorry the intellimouse was supposed to be:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Hmm... after re-reading your posts, it's obviously got something to do with USB HID support on your system (probably kernel-level).

I'm sorry I can't you more with this... perhaps you could ask in the Hardware forum here?

ok.... tks! should i open a new thread in the hardware forum? I'm sorry but i'm new at linuxquestions.org
