I have splurged on a new optical mouse and it is USB.
I read the appropriate page and I can insmod hid and usbmouse, mousedev . but the little red light does not come on. The light comes on on bootup but it goes out quickly. THere is a bios screen that gives me the IRQs and it switches off then. I figure it might be hardware. Any guesses??
