[SOLVED] Kernel modules for Logitech V220 mouse

Iketani · 2008-08-18 20:02:07

Hello,
I just got this very nice mouse and I have trouble to get it working. I am not a Linux newbie (not guru aether). Well to the point now, I have searched trough this Forum and Wiki and Google and all i have found is numerous ways to configure it for xorg, however, the problem is, that i can't get it to be detected by kernel:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep Name
N: Name="Power Button (FF)"
N: Name="Lid Switch"
N: Name="Sleep Button (CM)"
N: Name="ThinkPad Extra Buttons"
N: Name="hdaps"
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
N: Name="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"

Currently i am using Archlinux with "Vanilla" kernel and have evdev module loaded at strtup:

# lsmod

ieee80211              24712  1 ipw2200
ieee80211_crypt         4096  2 ieee80211_crypt_tkip,ieee80211

I do still have the original Arch kernel, but results with it is the same, so if someone of you nice people are using Logitech V220 or similar mouse, i would be gretefull if you would share your "lsmod".
Thank you verry much in advance.
Egidijus.

I'm certainly no expert, but do you have usbcore and uchi_hcd , I think you need them for usb mouse support, both are listed in my lsmod. I could totally be wrong though, I just followed the beginners wiki when I installed and my usb mouse (logitech wireless trackball) worked

Ok, affter i have done some research based on uchi_hcd, i found out that i forgot to enable uchi and echi support in usb section, affter i done that, my little mouse works perfect. Actually running lspci -v you can see what modules you need to have for your harware to work i thank people that replied, it really helped alot.
