My new machine boots & has the basic software installed. |
| 2 |
Fluxbox starts & I can stop it via its menu & the keyboard. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
However, it doesn't recognise my Logitech optical mouse, |
| 5 |
which doesn't show up in the 'dmesg' list nor as /dev/input/mouse0 . |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
It's not a hardware problem : rebooting into System Rescue |
| 8 |
without touching the connections results in a working mouse |
| 9 |
& it is listed correctly there by 'dmesg' & as /dev/input/mouse0 . |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I've checked the Kernel settings & they seem all to be where they sb, |
| 12 |
but the new machine is using 3.5.3 , whereas this one uses 3.4.0 . |
| 13 |
I used the older .config , went thro' 'make oldconfig' |
| 14 |
& then thro' 'make menuconfig', so the same mouse lines should remain. |
| 15 |
Has anything changed in Kernel 3.5 ? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
/etc/make.conf has the line INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" , like this machine. |
| 18 |
Udev doesn't seem to differ significantly. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Google doesn't help, the Gentoo Wiki seems a bit out of date, |
| 21 |
the User's Guide doesn't add anything. Unfortunately, |
| 22 |
when I started using a USB mouse back in 2007 , |
| 23 |
I didn't make a note of what I did to get it working, as I usually do. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Can anyone suggest what I'm missing ? |
