Since the switch from linux-sources to gentoo sources, my USB Logitech Cordless Mouseman (non-opt) does not work anymore. I used the same .config file as in the old 2.4.19 linux-sources tree, I did a 'make oldconfig'. This .config is an old one coming from 2.4.18 and maybe even .17. Since then, no mouse. I also tried configuration from scratch, same result. The mouse is not working but there exists a /dev/input/mice. Using the older linux-sources 2.4.19 kernel, the mouse is working and there exists an /dev/input/mouse0 besides the 'mice'. I am using a ECS K7S5A mobo (SiS735 chipset I believe)
Ok try this to see if you can get it to work, In input core support set Mouse to modules In usb enable your kernel related Host controller as a module,then under HID support set as module along with everything else. then with my setup /etc/modules.autoload I have these drivers load usb-uhci mousedev hid and try that naz
daniel, can we get naz a bugzilla acct :p
can we test this in the latest gentoo-sources and confirm that it either still exists or is gone, please?
still an open bug? :) I am now happily running vanilla with my usb connected mouse. I think it was just an accident that it worked with 2.4.18. Just a copy paste of .config broke the support but a bunch of google results fixed the problem. As far as I can remember I had to turn on one option (preliminaire USB device filesystem), not needed in older kernels. config: # USB support # CONFIG_USB=m CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m CONFIG_USB_HID=m CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y thanks for being a Gentoo devver! I like Gentoo very much! Sander
pffff, konqueror and bugzilla mess up the post a lot. My excuses :(
Closing since it's confirmed that it's fixed.
