Hi guys, |

First of all: great compliments about Gentoo and the docs, the kind of distro I've been |
| 4 |
looking for for a while. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
But during the install, I've found some things which gave me some problems, or I found |
| 7 |
rather unclear. |

One problem I ran into, is configuring my USB mouse for X11. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Your doc says that I need the following modules, for my USB mouse: input, mousedev, hid, |
| 12 |
usbcore and usbmouse. |
| 13 |
But that didn't seem to be completely right for my computer. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
After a long search in some fora (incl. forum.gentoo.org) I found out that I didn't need |
| 16 |
usbmouse, but usb-uhci instead (or uchi, but that one didn't seem to work for my |
| 17 |
motherboard). |
| 18 |
I don't know if it's just computer or your docs, but it maybe handy to report this. |

Although this distro isn't for totally n00bs, it may be a help to tell that usbcore is |
| 21 |
usually compiled static into the kernel. I think it's also good to write these modules |
| 22 |
down at the kernel compiling part, just after the SCSI CD-rw part. |
| 23 |
|

Keep up the good work, |
| 25 |
