I have a USB mouse , but it used to work fine froom the same usb port before the reinstall.....
Do you mean it previously worked with Debian-Woody, or that it worked with Slackware? Or something else? Were you using a stock kernel or one you compiled? I don't use a USB mouse here, but I wouldn't count on a stock Debian kernel supporting one ... though someone else here, someone who uses a USB mouse with Debian, would be a better source of advice at this point.
used to use a 2.6.1 now 2.6.2.
I haven't used a stock Linux kernel (aside from the early stage of an install) for years, so I don't recall what they include either compiled in or as modules ... both USB mouse support and Input Core mouse support appear to be available as modules, so modprobe'ing them (or adding them to /etc/modules) may be the prior fix you've forgotten. Just a guess, though, as I say.
The clincher so to say. after reading this I saw my previous kernel conf, and voila, HID support was configured as a module (was built into my older kernel). just added a modprobe into my startup scripts
and the mouse is working fine!!!
also Ray, about that trick I tried (cat /dev/psaux ..... ), I tried it again. the mouse is not unresponsive, I get a newline for a right click and scroll wheel click, ie , it is writing whitespaces atleast......
