Here's a very strange thing. The Razer mouse works on this same machine when I use an old Knoppix CD, kernel 2.4.20. Correctly detected, no error messages, no b0rkage. I'm puzzled. It looks as if it's using driver usb_mouse instead of usbhid. I won't go back to kernel 2.4 though :-/ So it looks like the mouse is working (it also works on another Linux machine I tested it on, kernel 2.6.16 and an UHCI hub there.) It's not the cable. And apparently it's not the USB hub either, since the Knoppix live system can cope with this mouse/hub combo just fine. Going back to Gentoo with kernel 2.6.22.9, same status -84 messages in syslog again. Should I try something like kernel 2.6.7? Can it be that it's a hotplug issue? After the knoppix experiment, I'm really puzzled. Nothing in any of the logs there. Mouse just working (TM). > > It could be. Unlikely but possible.

It looks more like something changed in the newer USB or HID drivers that made this hardware _stop_ working.
