[gentoo-dev] USB Mouse, USB HID and the other goodies

Hi,

I've been testing around, and fund that my very own USB mouse (a
standard Packard Bell 5v 100mA, model IO-3UP)doesn't work when it's
expected or just doesn't work at all.

The problem is maybe the most strange thing I've ever seen. The device
is known to work (tested on other boxes, with different controllers, and
also it works from times to times in this laptop, which ensures, among
that I've tested with other devices, the controller of this laptop is
not broken) but reports the following offending notice:
 
 Maybe the USB cable is bad?

Well, generic usbhid, ehci-hcd and ohci-hcd should provide
out-of-the-box support for a generic USB mouse like this one.

usbmouse seems not needed, though it worked for some time when I used
it, anyways, without it too. The point is, where's the black magic?


Should I specify no_handshake=1?

If it's the case, then, <gentoo-specific> should I recommend/suggest to
give some advice on it, and even prepare a weird script to solve this
little issue?</gentoo-specific>.

Thanks in advance,
cheers.
