Subject: Re: [ale] Linux 2.4 and usb mice

Thanks!  That setup sounds an awful lot like my box.  Getting 2.6 
working would be the ideal solution.

As for the 2.4 kernel, I think I have isolated what the problem is, but 
I have no idea how to fix it.  I got a standard usb mouse to work by 
turning off the bios settings about usb mice and PnP.  However, I can't 
get this particular wireless mouse to work because I believe the 
reciever can multiplex between teh keyboard (which I don't have) and 
the mouse.  The 2.4 machine never tries to initalize the mouse part.  
When I plugged in the mouse to a 2.6 computer, I got the following 
output in /var/log/messages:

This is what I see in the 2.4 machine when I plug in the adapter
reciever:

Notice how I never get that second line about &quot;USB HID v1.20 Mouse.&quot;  I 
have no idea where to begin fixing this.


Thanks everyone for the help.

&gt;
&gt; Can't say as I can tell you what's up with 2.4 &amp; USB, since I haven't
&gt; used that combination in particular.  However, I can tell you that the
&gt; board that I have which has an all VIA based setup works pretty
&gt; good... it's a Syntax board with an AMD Duron 1.8 GHz CPU.  However,
&gt; the ALSA mixer settings are a bit messed up.  The &quot;master,&quot; well,
&gt; isn't.  It's actually a strange combination of PCM and various other
&gt; mixers.  I'm working on a project in Windows at the moment (bleh), but
&gt; the next time I boot into Linux I can pull up the specs and show you
&gt; the mixer levels that work for my setup, and you can see if maybe
&gt; that's your VIA audio problem, there.
&gt;
&gt;  Later,
&gt;  Mike
