SNIP!
 
 Thanks! I guess the 'wireless' menu item is either not
 working, or I am
 using it incorrectly on that site.

There is no wireless menu item on the product search page:
http://www.usb.org/kcompliance/view

The Wireless Products Only Radio button refers to products using the Wireless 
USB Standard that I assume is supposed to be some kind of blue-tooth killer. 
(All Retail Categories returns only 117 results)
http://www.usb.org/developers/wusb/

If you select the Hi-Speed Products Only option, only one mouse is returned. 
(I never found serial mice working at only 9600bps unresponsive; barring dirty 
rollers. Newer mice have higher resolution I guess.)

Regards,

James Phillips

PS: I genuinely did not see the radio buttons when looking for menu items (I 
did check the drop-down lists). Not sure how proper it is to declare radio 
buttons not menu items. In my mind, menu items have an immediate effect. I 
have seen web-pages where choosing a drop-down item affects other drop-down 
lists in the page.
PPS: The choices of effect and affect are intentional. This page agrees 
with me (Still not sure if I'm correct):

7.2, usb mouse, uhub0: device problem (IOERROR)

2009-11-21 Thread Mark Terribile
Thanks to all who replied.  It's working now, apparently spontaneously.  It may 
have started as a connection problem--that's all I can think of.  The first 
time I plugged it in and rebooted, the error occurred.  I tried moving it to 
other ports, but I neglected to reboot--after all, USB is supposed to be 
hot-pluggable, unlike the PS/2 keyboard, right?

At some point, the error messages stopped after a reboot.  I can only speculate 
that there was something in the first USB connector that prevented a good 
contact, and that it got scraped out after a move or two.

Anyone know why the USB/mouse system can't recognize a connection after a 
reboot, or what administrator action might allow it?

Now I have to get the nvidia driver up.  Cross your fingers.

7.2, usb mouse, uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 3

2009-11-20 Thread Mark Terribile
Hi,

I just put 7.2 on an Asus P5N7A-VM motherboard (running with a Core II Quad 
2.33).  This motherboard has a PS/2 connector for the keyboard but not for the 
mouse.  When I plug a USB mouse in, or connect a PS/2 mouse through an 
appropriate green adaptor (PS/2 mouse/USB) I get the following error on the 
console and in /var/log/messages:

Nov 17 15:35:11 silver kernel: uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 3

I've tried different USB ports and gotten similar errors.  To run an X display 
I will need (well, very much want) a mouse.

Can anyone offer advice on what I must or can do?

Thanks,

Mark A. Terribile

 Hi,

You can't just use a PS/2 - USB adapter on *any* mouse; you need a dual 
protocol mouse. It sound like your mouse may be old enough that it only 
supports a PS/2 - RS-232 (9 pin serial) adapter. Your board may have a header 
to allow the easy installation of a serial port, but I have not checked (and 
serial mice may not be auto-magically configured).

Last time I was looking for a mouse, I could not find a PS/2 version. I was 
reluctant to get a USB mouse because none of them are USB Certified 
(http://www.usb.org). Many of them also had a Side-scrolling scroll wheel 
(designed with Vista in mind?) very awkward to use as a middle button.

If you mouse IS a USB mouse, try a different one.

Regards,

James Phillips

It's quite possibly to your credit that you've actually checked whether a USB 
mouse has been tested as compliant, but when I do a search for 
Mice/trackballs/pointers, I get 68 results, including a dozen or so from both 
Logitech and Microsoft.

The search URL seems to be difficult to abbreviate without it failing to work, 
but product examples:

Ok, I wasn't clear: none of the mice in the local stores I checked

I was looking for a $20 mouse, not a $100 mouse, so that may make a

I can recommend the Sun type 6 USB mouse (standard three button
mouse), and maybe the type 7 USB mouse is excellent as well,
allthough I can't confirm that because I don't own one (I don't
like the mouse wheel).

A $100 mouse? What is it, made of gold? :-)

Maybe the nameless mice are as good as the expensive ones
(that come with well-known brand names) when it comes to
USB standard compliance. Being able to test them in a live
condition would always be an advantage...
