I am trying to configure my USB mouse as described in the Gentoo Linux
Desktop Configuration Guide.

I try to do insmod usbmouse mousedev ..... and the other kernel modules that
are neeed.

But insmod can not find these modules. I search for them on my disk but they
are not there.

Can anyone give me advice hon how to get these modules.

I have conigured my kernel for USB support.

Appreciate it

/Phil

I'm just a newbie but maybe you didn't compiled them as modules ?

Maybe you compiled them into the kernel (*) rather than as modules (M)? Go
back and look. You don't need to modprobe them if you compiled them into
the kernel because they're there all the time.

I'm new to gentoo and I too am having trouble getting my logitech usb
mouse to work. It seemed to load fine when I initially loaded up the
install disk to get gentoo set up, but now that I've got my standalone
gentoo up this is no longer the case. I've been scouring the net
looking for a solution to this problem and all that I've found is that
its some kernel setting. Could anyone please go into further detail
of where these modules are in the kernel config?

Thanks
