Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, it turns out if I plug the mouse in before boot, it gets recognized. Any ideas?

grey · 2009-11-05 17:14:57

Why do you think this is XFCE related?

Also: check the output of dmesg when you plugin/out the mouse.

GoingDown · 2009-11-18 07:04:04

This happens probably because you have line

MOD_AUTOLOAD="no"

in your /etc/rc.conf

External usb mouse/keyboard uses usbhid & hid modules, and you are not loading them. Try it?
