Mine is AMD based. I have this right now but tried every other version I could find too. <*> xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) support <*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support <*> OHCI HCD support [*] Generic OHCI driver for a platform device <*> Generic EHCI driver for a platform device <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support Under USB HID support, I have this enabled: <*> USB HID transport layer [*] PID device support [*] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support This may help: root@fireball /usr/src/linux # cat .config | grep -i hid | grep =y CONFIG_HID=y CONFIG_HIDRAW=y CONFIG_UHID=y CONFIG_HID_GENERIC=y CONFIG_HID_A4TECH=y CONFIG_HID_APPLE=y CONFIG_HID_BELKIN=y CONFIG_HID_CHERRY=y CONFIG_HID_CHICONY=y CONFIG_HID_CYPRESS=y CONFIG_HID_EZKEY=y CONFIG_HID_KYE=y CONFIG_HID_GYRATION=y CONFIG_HID_KENSINGTON=y CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=y CONFIG_HID_MICROSOFT=y CONFIG_HID_MONTEREY=y CONFIG_HID_NTRIG=y CONFIG_HID_PANTHERLORD=y CONFIG_HID_PETALYNX=y CONFIG_HID_SAMSUNG=y CONFIG_HID_SONY=y CONFIG_HID_SUNPLUS=y CONFIG_HID_TOPSEED=y CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_HID_PID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y root@fireball /usr/src/linux # Right before I swapped back, I tried them all. ;-) Here is some more info: root@fireball /usr/src/linux # cat .config | grep -i hci CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y # CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM is not set # CONFIG_SATA_ACARD_AHCI is not set # CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI is not set CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_XHCI=y CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y # CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD_DEBUGGING is not set CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_PCI=y CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD_PLATFORM=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD_PLATFORM=y # CONFIG_USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC is not set # CONFIG_USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO is not set CONFIG_USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT=y root@fireball /usr/src/linux # My thinking, there is some driver that is different from my old mobo to this new mobo and I'm missing it or just missing something really simple. I went by the Debian HCL site but maybe something got changed. If I could boot the Sysrescue stick then I could likely figure it out from that. I'm going to update that stick before the next test. Keep in mind, for me to test anything, I have to swap mobos again. Naturally I don't want to do that any more times than I have to. Each times runs the risk of me messing up something. :/ Thanks much to all. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
