What sort of computer do you have? What does lspci | grep USB return? How about lsusb with the mouse and camera plugged in? And lsmod | grep hci Are you using any sort of hubs? Can you try different USB ports? Very much a work-around: try unplugging your USB mouse and plugging it back in again. This will cause the OS to re-detect it. (This works for me in Windows 2000, too). Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Remember, half-measures can be very effective if @westexe.demon.co.uk | all you deal with are half-wits.
