My new machine boots & has the basic software installed. Fluxbox starts & I can stop it via its menu & the keyboard.
However, it doesn't recognise my Logitech optical mouse, which doesn't show up in the 'dmesg' list nor as /dev/input/mouse0 . It's not a hardware problem : rebooting into System Rescue without touching the connections results in a working mouse & it is listed correctly there by 'dmesg' & as /dev/input/mouse0 . I've checked the Kernel settings & they seem all to be where they sb, but the new machine is using 3.5.3 , whereas this one uses 3.4.0 . I used the older .config , went thro' 'make oldconfig' & then thro' 'make menuconfig', so the same mouse lines should remain. Has anything changed in Kernel 3.5 ? /etc/make.conf has the line INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" , like this machine. Udev doesn't seem to differ significantly. Google doesn't help, the Gentoo Wiki seems a bit out of date, the User's Guide doesn't add anything. Unfortunately, when I started using a USB mouse back in 2007 , I didn't make a note of what I did to get it working, as I usually do. Can anyone suggest what I'm missing ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
