No progress yesterday. Today, I carefully checked the Kernel .config & installed 3.4.9 , in case there was something new in 3.5.3 : I have 3.4.0 in this machine, where the mouse works. Then I started looking a Udev in this machine to see what mb missing there. Back in the new machine, I was preparing to remerge -evdev- etc & casually checked /dev/input : mouse0 was there ! I logged in as user, 'startx' & the mouse worked in Fluxbox ! -- Xorg.log had found a Logitech mouse at /dev/input/event3 using evdev. Well, perhaps it was some setting which took effect after the reboot.
Well, no, it wasn't. When I had switched off & was replugging connections, I found that I'd plugged the mouse into a different USB slot : the previous one -- similar to the one in this machine -- was 2.0/1.1 , the new one which works is 3.0/2.0 . NB Mageia + SystemRescue both find the mouse in the former place, but my new Gentoo only in the latter. The new mobo is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ; this one is an ASUS P5G41T-M . Further comments are very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
