Hi All,
To get support for a completely separate device (PCMCIA wireless broadband), I have had to go from a 2.6 kernel to a 2.4 on my DELL D600 notebook.
I have installed from my trusty RedHat 9.0 distro, with its 2.4.20-8 kernel. To get other things working (eg, graphics acceleration) I have also built my own 2.4.29 kernel from the source at kernels.org. I
haven't changed anything else of the original RH distro, so I can switch
between kernels easily.
Under the stock 2.4.20-8 kernel, I have both the touchpad mouse and an external USB mouse working fine. However, when I boot under the 2.4.29 kernel, the USB mouse doesn't work.
I have checked the FAQ on this site, and the USB-guide (www.linux.usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html), and corrected problems identified from that (I had USB HIDBP enabled at one point). Currently, I can see no error messages at all. I am presuming that it is either a configuration problem with the kernel I have built, or a problem with the 2.4.29 version of one or more drivers.
I have included output from the various things I know of to look at. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
Many thanks for all feedback.
Cheers! Nik.
