    having upgraded to the 2.4.26 kernel, i can no longer use my USB
    mouse. i _can_ use my USB camera cable, though, so i know it's not
    wholly a USB deal. i haven't changed my /etc/gpm.conf or my
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (the relevant bits of which follow):

    /etc/gpm.conf:

    device=/dev/input/mice
    responsiveness=6
    repeat_type=raw
    type=imps2
    append=""

    relevant bit of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier "Configured Mouse"
            Driver "mouse"
            Option "CorePointer"
            Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
            Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
            Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection

    and, last but not least, the relevant (grepping `lsmod` for "usb" and
    "mouse") modules in my kernel are:

    input 3648 0 [joydev keybdev mousedev evdev usbmouse hid]
    mousedev 4308 0 (unused)
    usbcore 63756 1 [scanner usbmouse usb-uhci hid]
    usbmouse 2264 0 (unused)
    usb-uhci 23568 0 (unused)

    i feel like i'm missing a module in here. i've also got evdev in
    there, for what that's worth ....

    this all worked with my 2.4.20 kernel, and i feel like there's an
    upper bound to the number of modules i can just stick into my kernel
    before i have to find something that works. can anyone tell me what
    i'm missing, here?

    thanks!
