Yes, the 3.4.9 .config has nearly all of those.
However, I'm not sure that your logic is the right way round (smile):
something is telling Kernel + Udev to recognise only a 3.0 mouse,
whereas Mageia/SR recognise a 2.0 mouse ; the mouse is 2012 ,
so perhaps it will function either way, depending on software.
Why would K+U not recognise a 2.0 mouse ?

That also suggests that if I plug a USB stick into those  2  back ports,
it will give faster transfer speed ; the front ports are 2.0/1.1 .
Is it safe to test that ? -- ie I don't want to ruin a stick.
