replacing an ADB mouse with USB mouse
So I installed a USB card into my 601/120 PowerCurve and YDL 3.0 recognizes
it (it seems) but then it loads and un-loads the USB driver during boot
(i'll include my dmesg output on a follow-up).
So I have the little Mac hand for the USB mouse cursor frozen in the middle
of my display and the ADB mouse continues to work. I tried disconnecting the
ADB mouse before startup but it doesn't help.
Anyone know a quick fix? I suspect that I have to tell the X server about the
mouse and that I need to be able to load the USB drivers again. An lsmod
shows no usb modules loaded. In fact I'm unable to find them on the system
(presuming that I should find a usbcore or usb-hid somewhere but I don't know
the exact names).
Also, have looked on the YDL site but no instructions or references in the news
groups more recent than a year ago (that is, nothing with YDL 3.0).
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Stefan

Can you boot into root, stay in text (console) mode and use a config tool?
Or, if you know the module specific to the mouse and it launches during
boot, use the Interface option (if it exists) to choose N (no).

I can boot into root if necessary. And use a config tool. But the standard
graphical mouse config tool under YDL just seems to ignore my choice of a
USB two-button, wheel mouse.
I'm not sure if this is a XF86Config issue or a module issue. lsmod doesn't
show the USB modules (usbcore, usb-uhci, hid, mousedev). In fact,
I don't find them under /lib/modules/2.4.20-8d/kernel/drivers/usb.
After I insmod usb ehci-hcd, usbview does show the PCI USB card, but
no mouse.
The relevant errors in dmesg appear to be:
PCI:00:10.0: Resource 0: f3000000-f301ffff (f=200), vd: 106b, dev: 0002

Does anyone have an idea why it first detects and then removes the
device 00.0e2 (which I think it what supports the USB hub and thus
the mouse?).
thanks,

What about the mouse driver? Is there a brand-specific driver?
