I just did a emerge -u world and there was about 3 screen fulls of packages. I began updating and portage had trouble on that docbook-sgml package. At this point I rebooted and attempted to get back into X, except I couldn't cause it couldn't find the mouse. I continued to update the list of packages hoping that the problem might fix itself. Unfortunatly it didn't, and in the process I had move d from the 2.4.19 kernel to 2.4.20. I'm fairly sure the new kernel isn't affecting this problem though, as I'm using the exact same configuration. And no, I know enough to cat /dev/input/mice, I've already set up this mouse working before. I looked back on the USB-Howto and made sure all the modules were set up correctly. I decided to try building them into the kernel and recompiled. This didn't help either. Anyway, just for the sake of showing it, here are the relevant kernel sections (Taken from config file): # Input core support CONFIG_INPUT=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768 # CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y # USB support CONFIG_USB=y # CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD is not set #I don't have USB2 so I don't believe I need this CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y # CONFIG_USB_OHCI is not set #I don't believe I need this one either CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
When booting the mouse blinks (the red light goes on) for a split second, then never comes on again. In dmesg everything seems fine: usb.c: registered new driver hub uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1 uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb400, IRQ 10 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb000, IRQ 10 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb.c: registered new driver hid hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice However, when I tried plugging the mouse in the other port, and switching the plug back and forth, dmesg shows these errors: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout #I believe this first one is from the first boot usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110) hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-2, assigned address 4 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110) hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-2, assigned address 5 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=5 (error=-110) hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-2, assigned address 6 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout #These others keep increasing in address as long as I keep switching the plug What problem do these errors indicate?? I don't believe it's the kernel but it must be kernel related. Anyway, any help would be appriciated. Thanks, Arlo -- Arlo White [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
