I have just changed my mouse to USB and have got it working but I have to load all the modules manually.
I have searched the internet for solutions and have tried a number of different aliases in modutils without any success (Yes - I did think to run update-modules).
It appears that the modules I have to load, using modprobe, are hid.o and usb-ohci.o which then cause other appropriate modules, e.g. usbcore.o, to load.
What do I need to put in as aliases to get this to work?
I'm running Debian 2.2 with XFree86 3.3.6.
One other connected problem is that although I have put the following in fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
it is not mounted. When the machine boots I see a message something like 'cannot locate module usbdevfs' when it gets to the 'mounting local filesystems' bit which is rather strange because usb file system support is compiled into the kernel. I can, immediately after logging in, manually mount usbdevfs without problems and none of the USB modules have been loaded at this point.
I would like to get these modules loaded automatically. Can anyone help please?
