nivek7 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Ok, heres the problem. When i boot up, linux doesn't detect my logitech cordless mousman optical. i have to plug in my ps/2 mouse (i think its called ps2, its the plug thats green) and then my cordless one works. sometimes this even doesnt work. in 2.4.22 everything works smoothly btw. oh one more thing, i cant get my wheel working. ive tried putting in Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (using dropline 2.6) it was working before in 2.4.22 but now even in 2.4.22 it doesnt work. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Perhaps you're not loading the USB modules correctly for your 2.6 kernel. Have a look and see what is in /etc/modprobe.conf (I don't have linux right now to check that path is correct but I think it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kongit Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 2.6 and 2.4 have different usb modules, hotplug will make 2.6 modules work. alternately compiling the usb in to the kernel should make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I believe the USB module names have changed since the 2.4 series, hopefully somebody more experienced will be able to help you out soon. Edit : D'oh! Kongit beat me to it! :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek7 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 sorry for being noobish, but what do i do next? add something like hotplug to that file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongit Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I would suggest just compiling them into the kernel for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek7 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 where is this in the kernel config? i cant find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongit Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 in usb in device drivers. I believe it is calle human interface something or another (hid for short) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornett Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I thought you would need usb-uhci or usb-ohci or something similar as well depending on your chipset, but I am most likely wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
