USB install problem



Hi

I have just got a USB mouse and cannot get the USB port working.  I'm
using kernel 2.4.17 that a friend helped me compile to get my sound
working.  I think USB support is compiled in, and I would like to avoid
recompiling the kernel if possible since I have no idea how we got the
sound working in the first place and do not want to try it again.

Thus two questions:
1) From the data below, can anyone tell me whether USB is compiled
correctly into the kernel ?
2) If it is how do I get it working ?

I have woody and installed hotplug from the unstable tree. 

cat /proc/pci gives my USB controller as:

   USB Controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5237 USB (rev 3).
      IRQ 11.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Max Lat=80.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x82400000 [0x82400fff].
  Bus  1, device   0, function  0:

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o

gives

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.17-686/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o
works and the mouse light goes on,
lsmod gives

If khubd is running, that shows USB is available.
