Greg, Something strange with 2.5.56. My usb mouse is no longer working after boot. I can get it to work by repluging it. Here is my dmesg ang the init.d/local that should make sure the modules needed are loaded. Before tring to replug I unloaded and reloaded hid and psmouse to see if this would fix things (it did not). I suspect the changeset below: ChangeSet@1.889.19.1, 2003-01-09 10:29:40-08:00, greg@kroah.com which got added just before .56 - I have been tracking bk fairly closely and all was working up to the version of 55bk built at 8am on the 9th. Ideas? Ed Tomlinson
