I've been following the USB-guide to use my use ms intellimouse optical under X.
I downloaded Debian woody last week and I was told the default kernel that comes with it supports USB. I also loaded the modules like the guide said and the usb filesystem. On this page: http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html I ran into problems. It says to mkdir /dev/input mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63 I got no error messages when I did the above. cat: /dev/input/mice: no such device What's going wrong? My mouse isn't working. I'm assuming the problem is here since this is where I get an error in the setup process. Someone told me to try modprobing my modules. That seemed like it might be promising until I ran 'modprobe /lib/modules/2.2.20/usb/usb-uhci.o' This runs a whole screen of promising messages saying things like, usb device found on hub 4... but then I have no access to my keyboard! And it does not return me to the prompt! I would call this a crash except the system responds when I plug in or unplug a usb device. My keyboard is usb be too. Maybe running that confuses something? I don't know but I'm stuck because I can't succesfully modprobe these things. And that seemd like the only option left to me. Depending on how I configure X, I either get in but the mouse pointer doesn't move or I get something along the lines of the following error. code: (II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled(**) USB Mice: Protocol: "IMPS/2"(**) USB Mice: Core Pointer(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device dev/usbmouse No such file or directory.(EE) USB Mice: cannot open input device(EE) PreInit failed for input device "USB Mice"(II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver(WW) No core pointer registeredNo core pointerFatal server error:failed to initialize core devicesWhen reporting a problem related to a server crash, please sendthe full server output, not just the last messages.This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
