Hi, Thanks for mentioning the FAQ and hotplug. I was linked directly to the guide so I didn't see the faq when I was looking at the guide.
My mouse works! BUT... I have a new problem . Linux won't shut down properly. It should be because of the USB because it only started not rebooting or shutting down when the mouse started working. It goes through it's normal shutdown routine, then undoes USB stuff (I don't know if and where a log of this stuff is) and then says "usb.c: deregestering driver usbdevfs" After that it just stops and I can't switch terminals or do anything and i have to reset and my disk ends up not be properly dismounted. Any ideas of what's happening here? I have no idea. Thanks again for the help. --- "Stephen J.
