Re: USB Mouse not Working




<snip>

The mouse seems to get detected perfectly and this is the GENERIC kernel build that has the modules. The mouse gets detected and listed at boot time. However, I don't think I am getting data out of the mouse port.

I beleive in the past I have checked with

#cat /dev/ums0

and if things are working corectly, cat display binary garbage on the screen when you wiggle the mouse. Try this after killing moused (moused makes ums0 unavailable).

Perhaps the mouse is dead or dying? Mine keeps its USB cable on a little spindle, and to unreel the cable you have to tug on the cable. Not the best design since the cable is very thin and has taken damage over time.

The mouse is working well on another system. Did you try my little experiment?
