mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

hello
after new kernel (->2.6.15.4) & udev (->084)  upgrade my mouse (usb optical) stopped working. it won't be caused by udev as the mouse works fine with kernel 2.6.15.2. and new udev. any suggestions, what should i do?

thanks, ota

EDITED: additional info
my external usb disk isn't working either, i tried

modprobe usb-storage

and

modprobe usbhid

both failed, dmesg gives this

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

How do you load modules in /etc/rc.conf? I've been a long time fan of loading manually and had
MOD_AUTOLOAD="no"
and all my usb stuff including usb mouse stopped working with this upgrade. After changing MOD_AUTOLOAD to yes it works (I didn't bother investigating further which module I was missing - I had all usb modules that were necessary in the past, but smth was missing, whatever...). Loading time seems as fast as before, so I'll keep it for now.

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

I've MOD_AUTOLOAD='yes' and I have no relevant modules neither in MOD_BLACKLIST nor in MODULES.
I was thinking of adding needed module to MODULES, but i don't know which one it should be. Is there any way how to find out, which module do I need for a specific piece of hardware?

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

Oh, I forgot I changed one more thing:
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I changed mouse device from /dev/psaux (which points to /dev/misc/psaux) to /dev/input/mice. This didn't help, then I changed MOD_AUTOLOAD to "yes" and it worked. It could be that both was needed, so check also xorg.conf.

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

Those errors look like failed dependancy resolution.  Rerun 'depmod -ae' and then try to modprobe those modules again.

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

depmod didn't help. It gives same errors.
Oh, I see, that I forgot to provide modprobe errors

[root@otovo ~]# modprobe usbhid

Re: mouse stopped working with new kernel [solved]

same issue here, via k8t chipset if that helps
