    Microsoft Wheel mouse optical USB not detected

    yes, i can't seem to figure why isn't my USB mouse detected on knoppix 3.3 ( it didn't work in 3.2 too btw)
    knoppix detects everything else ok, but doesn't say anything about the mouse. this mouse worked in rh,mandrake,suse and windows but not in knoppix

    help please

    You may want to run /sbin/mouseconfig from a root console within kde and see which magical combination brings it to life.

    my $0.02 and work every penny,

    Check if your USB port is working.

    I have the same problem. My "Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.0A" is detected at boot, but does not work.

    I have tried modprobe -r usbmouse, then modprobe HID, no good.

    I have tried unplugging it and plugging it in again, no good.

    I have tried mouseconfig, no good.

    I have tried booting with the noapic option, no good.

    This mouse works fine in Gentoo, and I don't remember having to do anything special there...

    Any suggestions for other things to try?

    (We are talking boot from CD, not HDD install.)

    TIA,

    Martin

    In 3.3, Knoppix 3.3 2003-11-19 found the USB Logitech optical trackball, but when Knoppix was installed onto the hard drive, the cursor would no longer work. Turns out, the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 was looking for "Serial Mouse" instead of "USB Mouse."
