optical usb mouse not working on kernel 2.6
 
HI! My optical usb mouse was working very well with kernel 2.4.27 but when I upgraded to 2.6 (2.6.8 then 2.6.15), the mouse woudln't work. So I just have to use my laptop's touchpad.
dmesg's output :
Quote:
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.1, id: 0xa3a0b3, caps: 0xa04713/0x10008
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input1
nothing about other mouse.
You may need more "clues" (sorry english is not my native language)...
I'm a big newbie to linux. Thank you for any help.

Do you have a section in your xorg.conf (XF86Config) like this?
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Mouse[1]"
    Driver        "mouse"
    Option        "ButtonNumber" "5"
    Option        "Buttons" "5"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/mouse"
    Option        "Name" "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "imps/2"
    Option        "Vendor" "Sysp"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
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 "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

It may be because of some modules missing in "/lib/modules/2.6.15.5/kernel/drivers/input"

spartan@azeroth:/lib/modules/2.6.15.5/kernel/drivers/input$ ls -l
total 24

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11374 2006-03-14 01:47 joydev.ko
I should find mousedev.ko and psmouse.ko some other .ko files. Do someone know how to get it?

by the way this can be fixed by setting
Quote:
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
in the "USB Host Controller Drivers" section of the kernel .config file
