Please remember to reply to the list, not to those offering help. You'll get a lot more help from the list versus one person -- me. LOL

Hm. Looking back through my saved messages, I see someone has something misconfigured. Older message headers from SLE have From: some.person@wherever Reply-To: suse-linux-e@suse.com To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. My messages, and yours and Sid's, have Reply-To to the author, or no Reply-To field at all, then To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. This must have happened at the list server, right? Don't all the list messages go through there? I don't see how I could have changed anything in Thunderbird that would affect the headers coming from suse? I worked around it for this message by copying and pasting the To: field and deleting the Reply-To: field. I'll watch that in the future. But is there anything else I can do? If I just copy and paste the message I'm responding to into a new "To:" message, won't that break the threading?

As for your output... I see nothing related to either device when they're added to your machine. What type of machine is it? Looks like embedded USB controller, right? Do you have access to a USB PCI card to rule out problems with the MB? Do you see any IRQ errors in dmesg? Which kernel?

Well, that's right, lspci and lsusb neither seem to be aware of the devices. But they both see my trackball, and /var/log/messages plainly shows the devices being plugged in, but refusing to accept a SCSI address from the driver. Is there no obvious help there? I'm sure I have something misconfigured, but what? jp
