I've been looking all over the net trying trying to solve this problem, I found a few posts where people had the same problem, but no solution.
'cat /proc/interrupts' reveals: 11: 10394 10590 IO-APIC-level eth0 14: 6296 3945 IO-APIC-edge ide0 So irq 12 is not being associated with the psaux device. After some searching I've learned that only after it's loaded will the irq be used. So the kernel is not loading the driver then. 'cat /proc/misc' shows: 1 psaux Searching dmesg, this is the only relevent line: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice In /var/log/syslog I found kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice kernel: Detected PS/2 Mouse Port. It doesn't state that a mouse was detected though. I'm using the 2.4.18 kernel-sources with the 3.0 r1 release. The kernel configuration for character devices looks like this: Under Character-Mice <M> Bus Mouse Support <*> Mouse Support (not serial and bus mice) [*] PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support I've recompiled it a few times, trying Bus Mouse support and other things. I'm pretty sure this is the correct configuration and should work. Anyway, any ideas would be appriciated. I could use a usb mouse except for it also has a problem. I get the error where the usb mouse device won't accept a new address: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-110) I had a similar problem in gentoo that I could only fix by using a different kernel which I assumed contained a patch fixing the problem. An interesting thing I noticed is that although uhci works fine, ohci complains: modprobe usb-ohci /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: insmod usb-ohci failed The computer with the ps/2 problem is different from my gentoo machine btw. Both happen to be using smp though. It's possible smp causes problems with usb. As for the ps/2 problem I have no idea why it won't work. -Arlo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
