USB mouse not working in Debian Woody 3.0

[Bluester]

Hello,

This is an age old question, I have a Abit IT7 board, not PS/2 ports.

I have a USB keyboard and mouse (MS Intellimouse)
The keyboard works great, the mouse does not move, however the light comes on (it is an optical)

I have the following modules loaded:

mousedev, usbmouse, usb-uhci, usbcore, input, evdev

hotplug is installed and loaded at bootup.

XF86Config-4 has two entries:

Mouse0
Driver mouse
CorePointer ""
Device /dev/mouse
Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Emulate3Buttons true
ZAxisMapping 4 5

Mouse1
Driver mouse
SendCoreEvents true
Device /dev/input/mice
Protocol ImPS/2
Emulate3buttons no
ZAxisMapping 4 5


Can anyone help?

Try these G4L search results for 'usb mouse xf86config' (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=usb+mouse++xf86config) and see if you can find anything that might help.

Thanks, I got it working after doing something similar to what was on the links you sent me.
I will log those for future use. :-)

The trick was to configure the file, reboot, but stick the mouse in a different port.

Hotplug picked it up and it mysteriously worked.

Thanks for all the help. :-)
