After getting a Kensington Orbit Elite wireless USB trackball I ran into an annoying problem. The mouse/trackball runs using the standard HID system meaning no special drivers.
Just plugging it into the USB gives me this error: Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device number 3 Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 163 Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110) Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device number 4 Dec 17 06:07:11 orion kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110) Now... If I have the device installed and rmmod's the usb-uhci and insmod it afterwards I get this (which actually makes the unit work): Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:11.2 Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb400, IRQ 9 Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device number 2 Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 296 Dec 17 06:10:12 orion kernel: input0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Rflink Taipei Orbit Elite Wireless Trackball ] on usb2:2.0 Sometimes with a range of errors though stating problems like this: Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 13:56:25 Sep 13 2002 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:11.2 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:11.3 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb800, IRQ 9 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:11.3 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:11.2 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb400, IRQ 9 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: hub.c: USB hub found Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: hub.c: 2 ports detected Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2, assigned device number 2 Dec 17 06:04:27 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 297 Dec 17 06:04:29 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 84000280, flags 0, urb c4ec18c0, burb c4ec1640 Dec 17 06:04:29 orion last message repeated 6 times Dec 17 06:04:29 orion kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 9 ret -6 Dec 17 06:04:30 orion kernel: usb-uhci.c: ENXIO 84000280, flags 0, urb c4ec18c0, burb c4ec1640 Dec 17 06:04:30 orion last message repeated 6 times Dec 17 06:04:30 orion kernel: usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed dev 2 rqt 128 rq 6 len 9 ret -6 Dec 17 06:04:31 orion kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Dec 17 06:04:31 orion kernel: input0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Rflink Taipei Orbit Elite Wireless Trackball ] on u sb2:2.0 This is on a SuSE 8.1 system (on our PPC machine running a SuSE preview of 8.1 PPC we cant make it work at all). Anyone with any ideas of what is wrong? Personally I lean to the USB software not working completely but does anyone know if this is being checked out? It seems that alot of people have the "device not accepting address" issue. Best regards Jesper K.
