You should get something. I would think you missed a few modules. For
that reason I suggest you start with a prebuilt 2.4.18 or 2.4.20
kernel since it is a little easier to experiment with them than
re-compiling kernels.
I use a logitech USB optical mouse and a USB keyboard, and on
2.4.18-k7 with the hotplug package I see
~$ /sbin/lsmod | grep usb
usbkbd 2944 0 (unused)
usbmouse 1792 0 (unused)
input 3424 0 [keybdev usbkbd mousedev hid usbmouse]
usb-uhci 21508 0 (unused)
usbcore 49696 1 [usbkbd hid usbmouse usb-uhci]
~$
BTW I do not load any of these explicity, hotplug does it for me
fine. This is on a stock Woody system.
Cheers!
