Hello, I think I am real close to getting a USB mouse to work, but would appreciate a little help. I do have the latest usb package (0.5-16) from SuSE's web site. The mouse is a Microsoft IntelliEye. It works great when the PS/2 adapter is used to plug it into the PS/2 port. It also worked when plugged into a USB port on a Windows 2000 system. In other words, I know the mouse is good. Here is the error I get (in /var/log/messages). It results from gpm -m /dev/usbmouse0 -t imps2 Dec 30 12:56:50 home gpm[1673]: oops() invoked from gpm.c(897) Dec 30 12:56:50 home gpm[1673]: /dev/usbmouse0: No such device But the device does exist, although I'm suspicious since this device wasn't created by the usb package and I had to create it myself (as per instructions from http://www.linux-usb.org: crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 180, 16 Dec 30 10:29 /dev/usbmouse0 And here is /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= -1 Spd=12 If#= 0 MxCh= 2 Driver=(root hub) B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 T: Lev=01 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 1 Spd=1.5 If#= 0 MxCh= 0 Driver=mouse D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=045e ProdID=0025 Rev= 1.01 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=02 E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Notice that the USB irq is shared with my SCSI. I hope this isn't the problem, but I am a little suspicious since I can't seem to get the interrupt count to go up much by using the mouse. It is hard to tell since the count changes even when the mouse is not involved. 0: 774386 XT-PIC timer 1: 3007 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 5 XT-PIC soundblaster 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 10: 4043 XT-PIC eth0 11: 17342 XT-PIC aic7xxx, uhci 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu NMI: 0 -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen http://paulsen.home.texas.net -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
