My USB mouse can not use in kernel2.6.9-ARCH

my Microsoft wheel Optical  USB mouse works well in arch0.6 (with kernel2.6.3), but after I update kernel to 2.6.9-ARCH, my mouse device can not works. The red LED have no light.

But when I install kernel2.6.9 which compile by myself, the mouse works well.

Why?

Re: My USB mouse can not use in kernel2.6.9-ARCH

arch kernel 2.6.9 got no built in usb support,
you have to load the modules yourself or use hotplug,

if you compile your own kernel you can compile it with built in usb and your mouse will work witout doing anything more,

Re: My USB mouse can not use in kernel2.6.9-ARCH

first:
modprobe ehci_hcd

then:
modprobe uhci_hcd or modprobe ohci_hcd
try both

Does it means the uhci-hcd & ehci_hcd support in new kernel-2.6.9-ARCH which is compiled by arch official is built  in moduiles instead of kernel-core (vmlinuz) ?

Hi tx-cary.

Yes, they're modules. This is easy to determine by inspecting /boot/kconfig26:

CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
