hey
I saved the old config from 2.4.18 (with make menuconfig) and loaded it
with kernel 2.4.19-pre9 and pre10. everything compiles etc, the kernel
boots, but my usb-mouse is not working any more ...
All modules were loaded and none gave any error.
When I move my mouse while catting /dev/input/mice, nothing appears ...
Other USB-device work...
michael
btw: sry for this n00b-bugreport :) plz tell me if you need any more
information

This probably should tell you that what you've done is a silly thing:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=101761858728615&w=2
If you'd done a make oldconfig, you'd have seen the new option for
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT.

Please try /dev/input/mouse0.

total 0

That won't make any difference - it will say "no such device".
Both devices are created by the same input subsystem mouse driver. That driver
is loaded (because /dev/input/mice was able to be opened), but there is no
underlying USB support for the input subsystem. Input subsystem support was
made configurable in -pre9, and if you don't select that option, then the hid
parser directs the output to /dev/usb/hiddevX.
