[gentoo-user] USB mouse query

[Philip Webb]

Checking out my stand-by machine for another reason,
I discovered that it won't talk properly to my monitor,
so I tested my 2003 machine, which I haven't used for a long time.
It woke up ok, but it doesn't recognise either of my mice,
even with a adapter, so I want to get it to use them via USB.
The notes I can find tell me :

  USB mouse needs USB_HID set in kernel ;
    for mouse to work from 1.1/2.0 port, use USB_OHCI_HCD :
      UHCI Intel, OHCI 1.1 + AMD, EHCI 2.0, XHCI 3.0 .

Is there anything else I need to do ?
