Hello Ben, > but lsmod shows:

And where do "usbmouse" and "usbkbd" come from? Are you using basic keyboard and usbmouse support (USB HIDBP (Keyboard|Mouse) (basic) support) in your kernel configuration? The kernel docs warn against that .. Maybe you should try: <M> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support [*] HID input layer support Check if you have also configured "Mouse support" under "Input core support". Module load order seems to matter, on a Dell 81K it gets loaded in the following order: [snippet from /etc/modutils/actions:] .. post-install usbcore insmod usb-uhci post-install usb-uhci insmod input post-install input insmod hid post-install hid insmod mousedev .. Don't forget update-modutils when changing files in /etc/modutils. and that gives: [lsmod output] .. mousedev 3832 1 hid 12840 0 (unused) input 3328 0 [mousedev hid] usb-uhci 22092 0 (unused) usbcore 57312 1 [hid usb-uhci] .. Don't ask me why "hid" and "usb-uhci" appear as unused, unloading them manually disables my USB mouse, so .. ;) XFree86Config-4 snippet: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "AutoDetected" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Vendor" "AutoDetected" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection >I tried: /etc/init.d/gpm stop as suggested here: >http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12780&highlight=debian+usb+mouse >which returned: >bash: /etc/init.d/gpm: no such file or directory Looks like no gpm installed. ;) Regards, Frank -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Frank Trenkamp ftrenkam at uos.de PGP fprt: 5A0C 4AE9 74A5 51F0 2D34 E7DC 67FF 32C4 0357 5653 ------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
