Debian Sarge 2.4 to 2.6 kernel upgrade has USB issues

["Seehow Youare" <seehowyouare@spymac.com>]

Hi all,

Sarge 2.6.6 kernel on a Dell Inspirion 8500

I have upgraded to the 2.6.6 kernel and ACPI works (Yay !!)
However no USB stuff works (boo !!) Mouse and built-in Synaprics 
touch pad don't work so X isn't much use. 

I have Googled hard but can't seem to find a decent Debain orientated 
doco that informs me as to what I need to change to get USB stuff 
working or even my touchpad mouse.

All my hardware (USB included)  works under Fedora Core 2 2.6.7 
kernel and also under Debian with the 2.4 kernel. So, I copied some X 
stuff and fstab stuff from Fedora into the matching Debian files but 
no joy.

I added proc and sys sections to fstab and changed my mouse entry in 
XF86Config-4. See below

Any hints/links appreciated  :-)
