this post was: (was usb mouse not recognised in kernel 2.4.22)
I have renamed it in order to try and clean up the mess again, and
hopefully attract some more input.
thanks to all that have contributed so far, please continue!!
ok. here is where I am at:
latest kernel-2.4.22 compile using config from 2.4.18-bf2.4
in kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 the usb mouse works perfectly.
lsmod shows:
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
mousedev 3744 1
usbmouse 1760 0 (unused)
hid 18784 0 (unused)
usb-uhci 20676 0 (unused)
usbcore 48000 1 [usbmouse hid usb-uhci]
keybdev 1664 0 (unused)
input 3040 0 [mousedev usbmouse hid keybdev]
if i disconnect and then reconnect mouse it appears in messages as:
Sep 12 14:47:17 zeus kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
Sep 12 14:47:20 zeus kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1,
assigned device number 3
Sep 12 14:47:20 zeus kernel: input0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech
Logitech] on usb1:3.0
in kermel 2.4.22 lsmod shows:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
mousedev 3864 1
usbmouse 1820 0 (unused)
hid 16708 0 (unused)

usbcore 58464 1 [usbmouse hid usb-uhci]
keybdev 1696 0 (unused)
input 3456 0 [mousedev usbmouse keybdev]
if i disconnect and then reconnect mouse it appears in messages as:
Sep 12 14:38:23 zeus kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:1d.0-1
address 3
Sep 12 14:38:25 zeus kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.0-1, assigned
address 4
Sep 12 14:38:25 zeus kernel: hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB
Optical Mouse] on usb1:4.0
From this I can see that in the working kernel the last line shows that
input0 is picking up the mouse whereas the non working kernel shows
hiddev0 picking up the mouse.
when compiling the new kernel if i select all of the hid options I get
this result:

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
If I build the kernel without HID input layer support I do not get this
message.
from this I am guessing that HID input layer support is what I need to
make the mouse work.
how do I go about fixing this?!!
or is it a problem with the kernel sources (which I kinda doubt) :p
once again, thanks to all that have contributed so far, I am getting the
feeling that I need a kernel building guru to step in and sort out this
mess I am in!
