Hi all,
Sarge 2.6.6 kernel on a Dell Inspirion 8500
I have upgraded to the 2.6.6 kernel and ACPI works (Yay !!)
However no USB stuff works (boo !!) Mouse and built-in Synaprics
touch pad don't work so X isn't much use.
I have Googled hard but can't seem to find a decent Debain orientated
doco that informs me as to what I need to change to get USB stuff
working or even my touchpad mouse.
All my hardware (USB included) works under Fedora Core 2 2.6.7
kernel and also under Debian with the 2.4 kernel. So, I copied some X
stuff and fstab stuff from Fedora into the matching Debian files but
no joy.
I added proc and sys sections to fstab and changed my mouse entry in
XF86Config-4. See below
Any hints/links appreciated :-)
