Dear all,
I am almost a newbye, but, in spite of this, I'm obstinately trying
(without any result...) to use a USB Logitech Wheel Mouse and a USB BTC
keyboard on my Presario 1685 laptop... The 2 devices use the hub offered by
a LG 795FT+ monitor, since the laptop has only one USB port.
I applied the last version of the backport to kernel 2.2.14 sources, and
compiled the kernel following the indications offered by Brad Hards on his
"The Linux USB sub-system" (thank you!:-)). I selected OHCI-HCD support for
Compaq motherboard, and everything as suggested on this guide (including a
USB scanner support since I hope to buy soon a USB scanner:-)), as follow:
CONFIG_USB=y
# CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
# CONFIG_USB_UHCI is not set
# CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT is not set
CONFIG_USB_OHCI=y
# CONFIG_USB_PRINTER is not set
CONFIG_USB_SCANNER=y
(...)
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
# CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set
# CONFIG_USB_WMFORCE is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set
And here is the boot log concerning USB:

After rebooting, I keep following Brad Hards suggestions, but USB mouse
clicks and USB keyboard keys seem not to affect the counters in
/proc/interrupts, even if it contains a usb-ohci line, misteriously close
to ESS Solo1, that is Presario soundcard...
[root@localhost /root]# more /proc/interrupts

Any idea about it? Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Stefano
