I have build and installed Kernel 2.6.8 in my machine
which has Red Hat Linux 9.0 installed. The mouse
[Logitech Mouse with 3 buttons] supports works fine in
Red Hat Linux 9.0 but it is not detected by Kernel
2.6.8. I have modified the rc.sysinit and halt scripts
as suggested by some articles posted on the net. I
have included USB support and have usbmose, usbkdb,
usbcore and uhci-hcd modules loaded at the time of
booting kernel 2.6.8.
Please guide me how to proceed to provide the mouse
support in my kernel 2.6.8.
My configuration file is as follows:
#
# Input device support
#
CONFIG_INPUT=y
#
# Userland interfaces
#
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
#
# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_INPORT is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_LOGIBM is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_PC110PAD is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_MISC is not set
#
# Mice
#
# CONFIG_BUSMOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_QIC02_TAPE is not set
#
# USB HID Boot Protocol drivers
#
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m
I have spend two days on it and looking for the help
to find the solution of this problem.

Dinesh

I have implemented your suggestion but the problem
still persists. I am not able to get mouse [Logictech
3 Button] support in Vanilla Kernel 2.6.8. Please give
me more suggestions so that I could proceed further.

Dinesh

I have observed something which I would like to share
with you. Do we need to change XF86Config file when we
are migrating from Kernel 2.4 to 2.6.8 ?
Whenever I boot my system [ either in Kernel 2.4 or
2.6.8], I am prompt by kudzu to configure/
unconfigure the following hardware devices:
1. LGI|8051
2. Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse
If I configure LGI|8051 only [not Generic Mouse
because If I configure Generic Mouse, then I donot get
Mouse Support in Kernel 2.4] in my Kernel 2.4, then
everything works fine and I get mouse support. But If
try to do the same thing in Kernel 2.6.8 [ i.e
configure LGI|8051 and don't configure Generic PS/2],
then my Kernel gives error in launching X Server and
error is as follows:
xf86OpenSerial can't open device /dev/ttyS1
My XF86Config contents are as follows:
# XFree86 4 configuration created by
redhat-config-xfree86

this is the name of the

concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font

Thanks to all of you for providing me a guidance to
crack this problem. My modified .config file is as
follows. I hope this will help others who are novice
in this field and this can save their time as i was
struggling with this for around 4 days. I have Red Hat
Linux 9.0 installed in my machine.

Dinesh
