No progress yesterday. Today, I carefully checked the Kernel .config |
| 2 |
& installed 3.4.9 , in case there was something new in 3.5.3 : |
| 3 |
I have 3.4.0 in this machine, where the mouse works. |
| 4 |
Then I started looking a Udev in this machine to see what mb missing there. |
| 5 |
Back in the new machine, I was preparing to remerge -evdev- etc |
| 6 |
& casually checked /dev/input : mouse0 was there ! |
| 7 |
I logged in as user, 'startx' & the mouse worked in Fluxbox ! |
| 8 |
-- Xorg.log had found a Logitech mouse at /dev/input/event3 using evdev. |
| 9 |
Well, perhaps it was some setting which took effect after the reboot. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Well, no, it wasn't. When I had switched off & was replugging connections, |
| 12 |
I found that I'd plugged the mouse into a different USB slot : |
| 13 |
the previous one -- similar to the one in this machine -- was 2.0/1.1 , |
| 14 |
the new one which works is 3.0/2.0 . NB Mageia + SystemRescue both |
| 15 |
find the mouse in the former place, but my new Gentoo only in the latter. |
| 16 |
The new mobo is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ; this one is an ASUS P5G41T-M . |
