Hi,

Since 2.4.19 a usb mouse does not work anymore if

CONFIG_USB_HID=m
and
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m

is set. It only works if both are compiled into the kernel. Yes, I have set CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y.

I've also seen other complaints about usb mice not working in 2.4.19, I guess that's the problem?

If the stuff is compiled as modules, everything seems to be fine. The kernel messages are the same, everything is detected fine. Except that 'cat /dev/input/mice' does not give any output if the driver is compiled as module.

Cheers,
Oliver

Are you sure the hid.o module is loaded? :)

Yes I am. ;) mousdev.o and hid.o are both loaded and the device is listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

I don't know really, maybe I did indeed something wrong since it works for others. Though I don't know what that might have been. It works now with the driver compiled in.

Most other reports I've seen (two) were probably resolved with CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT.
