Please do: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > /tmp/usb_devices.txt and post usb_devices.txt. Also, post lsmod output, and the contents of any InputDevice sections (Section "InputDevice") from your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Explanation: The proc dump will show most of the relevant information about any usb devices attached to your system, the lsmod output will tell us what usb related modules, if any, you have loaded, and the InputDevice sections will show us whether or not you have configured your X server to use your USB devices. Obviously, you will have to do this from a different machine, by ssh or telnet'ing to the box under discussion. I'm assuming that nothing works, here . . . that you can't use a virtual terminal, not that you just can't use X. If this assumption is in error, tell me what does work, and what doesn't.
