You know USB devices are hot-pluggable (which means you can plug them in
while the system is running)? Try unplugging it and re-plugging it.

Try it in a different USB port.

Open a terminal and run
su - -c "tail -f /var/log/messages"
You will be prompted for the root password.

You will see the "end" of the /var/log/messages file: many system
messages are logged here. Plug in the mouse, and see what lines are
output.

Hope this helps,

James.


Tree clues:

1. When I boot the fedora, the ligt is linking like it shoud. It means that the fedora founds the usb mouse

2. When I wrote the  ansewer to the fedora list, the usb mouse started to work suddenly. It started to work after about ten minutes.  I was so exited that I didn't check /var/log/messages.  Then I  rebooted but the mouse didn't work any more after reboot. Afterwards I tried to found from /var /log/messages what has happened. I think that this hapened when usb mouse started to work:

Feb 23 23:18:33 localhost gconfd (kari-2975): Kirjoitettavan asetuslähteen osoite "xml:readwrite:/home/kari/.gconf" kohdassa 0 selvisi
...and that in english: The address of writable setupfile in the row 0 was found "xml:readwrite:/home/kari/.gconf"


3. Now  I logged out (not rebooted) and then the mouse started to work. In the /var/log/messages was the following:

I was logged as root and the mouse didn't work
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[2832]: session closed for user root
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost dbus: avc:  1 AV entries and 1/512 buckets used, longest chain length 1
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 3.5 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 4x mode
Feb 23 23:23:17 localhost kernel: [drm] Loading R200 Microcode
Now the mouse works
Feb 23 23:23:35 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[2832]: session opened for user kari by (uid=0)

So What????
