I have a sony vaio laptop which I'm trying to connect to a KVM switch. The sony vaio laptop that I have only has USB ports no PS/2 ports. I have a Composite USB - PS/2 Adapter which I am using to connect both the keyboard and the mouse to a single USB port. This configuration (together with the external monitor) works fine in windows, but now in Linux. I have gotten my external keyboard and external monitor (albeit same resolution as the laptop screen) to work, but not the mouse.
The kernel messages I am getting at boot time are
hub.c: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled
hub.c: new USB device 02:07.0-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x518/0x1) is not claimed by any active driver.

usb-storageI went through the archives and emails exchanged between Daniel Chemko and Shiva Shankar around 4th of April were on this topic, but Shiva's suggestion (to see the hid-input.c file) was too cryptic for me :). Could someone elaborate on it ?
I tried loading coping the hid*.o modules over to the /lib/modules directory structure and modprobing the hid-input, hid-core and hiddev modules, but I keep getting the error message
modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies! modprobe: Circular dependency? hid-input usbcore hid-core input Aborted (core dumped)
Any help would be appreciated thanks -deepak
