usb mouse, iomega zip and 2.2.19-pre7

Hi,

usb-mouse
---------
In 2.2.19-pre6 (and previous) we had a CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV. It has disapearead in 2.2.19-7. The only alternative for an usb mouse seems to be CONFIG_USB_MOUSE which is for an USB HIDBP Mouse.

So there is no mean to get mousedev & input compiled.
Maybe "Input core support" is missing with the matching ../drivers/input directory.

Iomega ZIP support
------------------
IOMEGA parallel port (ppa - older drives)
IOMEGA parallel port (imm - newer drives)
Have vanished from the "SCSI low-level drivers" sub-menu.

--------

Regards

Jean-Luc

Hi,

Here's a fix for the USB Config for 2.2.19-pre7. I messed up and took out the HID devices in the patch I sent you for 2.2.19-pre6.

thanks,

Why do the input handlers depend on CONFIG_USB_HID? On PPC we already have trouble with them depending on CONFIG_USB, so everybody has to select CONFIG_USB even if he just has ADB hardware.

Alan, would you accept a patch putting 2 main_menu's for CONFIG_USB and CONFIG_INPUT into usb/Config.in? This avoids the move of the input drivers into drivers/input as in 2.4 (which you seemingly don't want in 2.2) and only requires a minor adjustment in drivers/Makefile.

Don't these input drivers _require_ the USB HID driver core to work properly?

Or am I mistaken, and this is the 2.4.0 input core code, but not in a separate directory, like 2.4.0 has it?

thanks,

No.

Yes, it's the input core code, but without a separate directory or main_menu entry :-(. That means that currently on PPC people have to select CONFIG_USB even if they just want to have the input core code for CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID. Since Alan rejected the creation of drivers/input in 2.2 for unknown (?) reasons, I suggest to add a 2nd main_menu in usb/Config.in for CONFIG_INPUT items. Then adjust drivers/Makefile in a way that drivers/usb is entered if CONFIG_USB is unset but CONFIG_INPUT is set.

Franz.
