load the modules manually

in gentoo edit /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4

I can't remember where its located in mandy

 

I use hotplug, which is supposed to dynamically load modules, however the HID, and usbmouse modules are required before hotplug starts

 

list them in modules.autoload and all is good ;)

I have some weird errors with my new wireless mouse too (I am using Mandrake). For some reason, it just stops working after a seemingly random period of time. If I click a button, it works fine for a while, then freezes again.

 

Mine's a Logitech. Part of the Wireless Access Duo ($59.99 at Best Buy). I realize this isn't my thread, but if anyone has any input about this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Not sure????

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier "Mouse1"
   Driver "mouse"
   Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
   Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
   Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection

Is that different than yours? Oh, in mandrake/kernel-2.6 it's /etc/modprobe.preload. With kernel-2.4 /etc/modules. Be sure to put mousedev in there.
