It seems I have to solve it on my own.
I'll sign off the list soon.

I use sarge and its default kernel 2.4 and USB mouse.

USB mouse works fine with hotplug package. But after I remove hotplug, USB mouse refuse to
work
even after I follow instruction on page below:

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html

Mostly I modprobe input, hid and mousedev.
Then I use "cat /dev/input/mice" to test it.
OK.  Then what's the question?  What error messages are there?

I remove hotplug,
modprobe input hid and mousedev, all seems OK.
then I use "cat /dev/input/mice" to test mouse.
The usb mouse does not respond to movement.
Does X work?  I've never used cat to test a mouse.  I'd use a terrier.


Serena, did you explain before why you use Sarge and kernel 2.4? Could you say it again please?
