30 Yes, the 3.4.9 .config has nearly all of those.
31 However, I'm not sure that your logic is the right way round (smile):
32 something is telling Kernel + Udev to recognise only a 3.0 mouse,
33 whereas Mageia/SR recognise a 2.0 mouse ; the mouse is 2012 ,
34 so perhaps it will function either way, depending on software.
35 Why would K+U not recognise a 2.0 mouse ?
36
37 That also suggests that if I plug a USB stick into those 2 back ports,
38 it will give faster transfer speed ; the front ports are 2.0/1.1 .
39 Is it safe to test that ? -- ie I don't want to ruin a stick.
