things are getting messy here.
Thanks to everyone that has replied, I greatly appreciate your replies, however the messages are getting confused.
I have reposted this to try and clear things up a little.
I do not have usb-ohci installed. I am running an Asus laptop with Intel chipset and using usb-uhci
My lsmod shows: zeus:/home/ben# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted orinoco_cs 4372 1 mousedev 3832 1 nls_cp437 4348 2 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21804 0 (unused) asus_acpi 7676 0 thermal 6432 0 (unused) processor 8780 0 [thermal] fan 1568 0 (unused) button 2508 0 (unused) battery 5856 0 (unused) ac 1792 0 (unused) microcode 3424 0 (unused) msr 1640 0 (unused) cpuid 1224 0 (unused) radeonfb 22636 0 (unused) fbcon-cfb8 3336 0 [radeonfb] fbcon-cfb24 4200 0 [radeonfb] fbcon-cfb16 3912 0 [radeonfb] fbcon-cfb32 3752 0 [radeonfb] hid 16836 0 (unused) usbcore 58368 1 [usb-uhci hid] i810_audio 24968 1 ac97_codec 12076 0 [i810_audio] orinoco 33036 0 [orinoco_cs] hermes 5252 0 [orinoco_cs orinoco] busmouse 3260 0 (unused) input 3488 0 [mousedev]
As you can see only mousedev is using input what have I done wrong??!!
AFAIK, you have the correct modules loaded. Try booting without starting X. Do you see the message at the console when you connect the mouse? If you do 'cat /dev/input/mice' and move the mouse, do you get any output?
