Hi,
   I seem to be having a problem with the latest backport patch
with regards to my ms intellimouse explorer usb mouse.  Namely,
it doesn't seem to want to admit the existance of char-major-13.

Here's what is going wrong as far as I can tell:

- /proc/devices does not show 13 input under character devices

- my device node for the mouse is as follows:
  crw-r--r--    1 root     root      13,  32 Apr 28 09:17 /dev/usbmouse

- cat /dev/usbmouse return /dev/usbmouse: No such device

- gpm returns the following:
  gpm: gpm startup succeeded
  modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-13
  oops() invoked from gpm.c(958)
  gpm[470]: /dev/mouse: No such device

I have tested it with both usb mouse and usb keyboard attached, and just
the usb mouse attached.  If I hook up a usb keyboard as well, the keyboard
works fine, so it appears that usb working properly.

Hardware:
- Abit BP6 (using usb ports on the motherboard.)
- Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer
- Logitech USB Wheel Mouse

Software:
- Redhat 6.2
- kernel is 2.2.15pre20 with some other patches added in

I've tested this with both smp and up kernels, does the same thing.
I had mentioned in an earlier private email to Vojtech Pavlik that
I was also having problems with 2.3.99-pre6-7 and 2.3.99-pre6 final
kernels crashing when the kernel first attempts to load that went
away if I removed usb from the kernel.  That problem looks to be a
freak kernel build screwup on my part, as 2.3.99-pre6 seems to work
fine for me now.

Here is what I have selected as far as USB options:
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1280
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y

If I've forgotten any needed info, let me know.
