On a Debian/Testing install (9/04) on a eMachines T3092,
we are unable to read mouse actions, either at console
or on X11. We've tried both USB and PS/2 mice, but neither
is detected. Everything else seems to work. The latest
drivers from nvidia contain modules for sound and ethernet,
but evidently no mouse support. WinXP/Home drives the mice
just fine, so we suspect a low-level driver problem with
the T3092 motherboard/mouse/USB controllers. Googling comes up
empty. Comments? Advice?
