USB Logitech Cordless Mouse Woes
Hi,
(Debian Woody Laptop)
I'm trying to get a Logitech cordless mouse and keyboard to work with
its USB receiver on a laptop (only 1 ps/2 port so can't use this
option).
It's running a 2.4.17 kernel with all the appropriate usb bits
compiled as modules.
I've installed the hotplug utils and things seem to work when I plug
and unplug the receiver.
I did a mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63 as suggested by the linux-usb
site and set up X appropriately from same site.
The problem is that when I cat /dev/input/mice, nothing happens: no
data is received.
The keyboard seems to work without a problem - but not the mouse
lsmod gives this:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
keybdev 1664 0 (unused)
uhci 23496 0 (unused)
hid 12544 0 (unused)
usbcore 48320 1 [uhci hid]
mousedev 3808 1
input 3264 0 [keybdev hid mousedev]
The X log gives this:
(**) Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
(**) Logitech USB cordless: Protocol: "IMPS/2"
(**) Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
(**) Logitech USB cordless: always reports core events
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(==) Logitech USB cordless: Buttons: 3
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Logitech USB cordless: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
There are no mouse related errors or warnings.
The only possible hint that all is not well is in /var/log/messages:
kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 4
kernel: input0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Logitech Logitech] on usb1:4.0
kernel: input1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech Logitech] on usb1:4.1
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup hid for USB product 46d/c504/1320
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver hid
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup keybdev mousedev for USB product 46d/c504/1320
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver keybdev
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver mousedev
What would cause the missing driver lines?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
