 Hi folks, I have two problems.

Hi Mark,

 1)   I have a beige desktop Power Macintosh G3 (old-world) with
 first-edition roms.  Gentoo installs great,  Only thing is, I have an
 ADB mouse and a USB mouse.  The ADB mouse works great, but I can?t
 figure out how to use the USB mouse.  It is recognized during boot-up,
 and it shows a driver, but I can?t find anything in /dev that
 corresponds.  I have udev enabled in the kernel, and listed as a module;
 udev shows up at boot-time in the kernel but fails as a module.  Could
 that be part of my problem?

Make sure that you have HID Input support in your kernel, otherwise,
there won't be a driver for the mouse.  If you intend on hotplugging the
mouse, make sure you have hotplug installed as well.  Once you have HID
Input support and hotplug, plugging in the mouse should result in an
extra /dev/input/mouseX device.  If you don't want to have to select
between the two, you can specify /dev/input/mice as your input device
which should take input from all mouse devices.

 2)   Dmesg gives me a lot of IN from bad port 61 at c01b6488, and
 also IN from bad port 1058 at c0214430.  Any idea what this is?

Take a look at this for the IN from bad port message:

Good luck,

Thanks, Joe!  I'll check genkernel and get devices set and unset as you
recommend.

Any idea what device the port 1058 problem is connected with?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about port 1058, but make sure all of those mentioned in
the FAQ are turned off and see if it goes away. :)
