I'm a pretty happy camper when it comes to using USB on my laptop, except for one thing....
If I start XFree86 (version 4, mind you) and *then* plug in a USB mouse, the mouse doesn't do anything. I have to shutdown X and start it over again and then the mouse is detected. When I plug the mouse in while X is running, the hotplug stuff *does* detect the mouse and load all of the drivers (I can see this from the console messages), so I think the problem is that, when X starts up, it takes a look at /dev/input/mice and then decides that there's nothing interesting there and ignores it for the rest of the X session. Right now, in my X configuration, I've got the laptop trackpad set to CorePointer and the /dev/input/mice source is set to "SendCoreEvents"... just like every example I've seen. And, like I said, everything works great if the mouse is there before I start X. So, I think something is causing X to check /dev/input/mice once and never check again. Any idea why this is happening? Do I need to load the modules (mousedev.o, input.o, etc) by hand rather than let them be loaded by hotplug or whatever? - Joe ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
