Re: usb mouse problem

I have problem with my optical usb mouse on fedora core 4. It worked fine

the kernel of 2.6.14-1.1656 and before that but not any more on
2.6.15-1.1830 or 1831. The cursor stays on the screen but it doesn't
move. If I use the usual "non usb" mouse, that one works.

I have tried all tips which I found from the internet. I can't solve
this problem by myself alone

You know USB devices are hot-pluggable (which means you can plug them in
while the system is running)? Try unplugging it and re-plugging it.

Try it in a different USB port.

Open a terminal and run
su - -c "tail -f /var/log/messages"
You will be prompted for the root password.

You will see the "end" of the /var/log/messages file: many system
messages are logged here. Plug in the mouse, and see what lines are
output.

Hope this helps,

James.
