Can you attach your /etc/sysconfig/mouse file?

Comment 2 Paul Nasrat 2004-08-11 10:10:18 UTC
Please attach /etc/sysconfig/mouse, the output of cat
/proc/bus/input/devices and grep usb /etc/modprobe.conf

USB mice are working for other people - including myself.

I've experienced this exact same problem over the past 2-3 years on
several Dell computers with Logitech USB mice running several
different versions of Red Hat/Fedora linux, but it's generally been
intermittant.  If the mouse failed after a reboot, another reboot
would often fix the problem.  Sometimes it seemed to help to power off
completely before booting.

With FC2 and kernel (2.6.8-1.521) the problem is much worse so that
the mouse fails almost every time.  I just tried disabling legacy USB
support in the BIOS and the mouse came up the first time.  I don't
know yet if this has really fixed the problem or not.

Question: Is the correct module name "uhci-hcd" (with hyphen) or
"uhci_hcd" (with underscore)?  The module file name in
.../kernel/drivers/usb/host/ is uhci-hcd.ko, but the name given by
/sbin/lsmod is uhci_hcd. My modprobe.conf file contains the version
with the hyphen.

This problem might be related to bug 124378 (which is where I picked
up the idea of disabling legacy USB support).

I will attach my versions of /etc/sysconfig/mouse, the output of cat
/proc/bus/input/devices and grep usb /etc/modprobe.conf, although I am
not the original poster.

Comment 7 Paul Nasrat 2004-09-06 07:29:36 UTC
Can the original reporter confirm that disabling legacy usb support in
their BIOS resolves this issue for them.  

Comment 8 Paul Nasrat 2004-11-24 20:28:00 UTC
Closing due to lack of additional data from original reporter.  If the original
poster wants to confirm behaviour with bios changes, feel free to reopen.
