So I would forget this as a Fedora specific issue. It may well be that Ubuntu has usbmouse blacklisted or employs udev rules that force usbhid to be loaded before usbmouse. On Mandriva it was handled in a similar way, before usbmouse was disabled from the kernel (no reason to have it in a "normal" kernel). > Thanks for the pointers. -- Anssi Hannula -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
