I have several brands of PS/2 to USB converters (dual port, mouse and keyboard) I use for my laptops at home and at the office. One brand, Micro Inovations, is working great, and worked great on both the 14 and the 15 kernels. The other brand, an Ez "Smart Adapter" Ez-PU21, works great on 14 but NOT on 15 (neither the keyboard nor the mouse work). There are different syslog messages that show up between those two devices. I just went back and reproducted this. First I plugged in the Ez adapter and it failed. Both the keyboard and the mouse were non-functional. You could not even toggle the capslock light on the keyboard. Then I removed that device and replaced it with the Micro Inovations device. Both keyboard and mouse are fine. Here's the syslog output from that test: This is the one that fails. Feb 24 11:09:47 canyon kernel: usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 3 Feb 24 11:10:08 canyon kernel: usb 1-1.1: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Feb 24 11:10:08 canyon kernel: input: Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09 as /class/input/input5 Feb 24 11:10:08 canyon kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-1.1 Feb 24 11:10:08 canyon kernel: input: Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09 as /class/input/input6 Feb 24 11:10:08 canyon kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-1.1 Feb 24 11:10:28 canyon kernel: usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, address 5 This is the one that works.

The ones that fails claims "USB HID v1.10" while the one that works claims "USB HID v1.00". Maybe a clue... Both work just fine on 2.6.14 and earlier... Here's the syslog from the last time I had the 2.6.14 kernel spun up and had the Ez adapter in place... Feb 10 12:36:55 canyon kernel: usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Feb 10 12:36:55 canyon kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: USB hub found Feb 10 12:36:55 canyon kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: 2 ports detected Feb 10 12:36:55 canyon kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 Feb 10 12:36:55 canyon kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1 Back then, I didn't get the "input: ... as /class..." syslog messages. I may try and reproduce that later today just to eliminate udev as a source of the problem but, for a while, I was being forced to use a 2.6.14 kernel at my office while I could use 2.6.15 at home until I replaced that adapter at the office. So I was going back and forth between the kernels and I was going back and forth between two models of adapters. So it's NOT just a mouse problem. It seems to be something in the HID layer that's not properly handling some USB HID devices (Mouse, Keyboard, or PS/2 adapters). And it's NOT a USB port problem. It's reproducible and deterministic with certain devices on 2.6.15, but not all of them. > I tried that /var/log/message: > > > > Var/log/messages, when I used OLD kernel (usb mouse worked in both usb > ports).
