Yups, couldn't test it, thought i had broken something. anyway, the active part
of the minimodule:
rmmod usb-uhci #does this umount usbdevfs?
modprobe usb-ohci
modprobe hid
modprobe keybdev
modprobe mousedev
modprobe usbmouse
mount -o devmode=0666 -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "adapting XF86Config-4 for usb-mouse"
sed -e 's/InputDevice *"Serial Mouse"/InputDevice "USB Mouse"/'
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 > /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-2
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-2 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Anyway, it's a bit yuckie, but it works. Was planning to throw this in a
bootparameter, as i don't know what effect it has on usb devices using uhci.
Cheers, and i hope this helps a bit (note that this is executed after normal
hardware detection)
Alex
