[Sheflug] USB Mouse Problem

["Darrell Blake" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to be having a problem getting my USB mouse working since I upgraded
my computer. Maybe I've just missed something out but I can't figure out the
problem. Basically, the following modules have to be loaded for my usb mouse
to work usbcore.o, hid.o, input.o, mousedev.o, uhci.o. When I load these as
modules using modprobe the mouse works. I've even configured X to use
/dev/input/mice and it all works fine but when I include the modules in the
kernel instead of modules it doesn't work. I created /dev/input/mice by
doing "mknod /dev/input/mice c 16 63". Before I upgraded my computer
including the modules in my kernel worked fine. I did format my entire hard
drive though after upgrading my computer so maybe I'm missing something.

Can anyone help?

Darrell
