I got the 2.3 USB code from cvs.on.openprojects.net. I had to update it a bit to include the 2.2 spinlock.h since it seems to have moved in the 2.3 kernel. If I think of it, I'll try to make some patches once I get home...
Right... And you had to change the pci_dev structure access to the old struct correct? Ok I decided to do it your way and I get things working sort of. My machine does not crash, which is a HUGE milestone for me. ;-) (knock on wood at least not crashed yet.
Where are these patches you speak of? From reading the docs in the USB driver, these patches have made it into the USB tree...or are there non-USB patches that need to be applied?
I don't think you need the patches. You got the source from the same place I did. I was getting some data access exceptions/crashes and that was because I got my source from kernel.org BEFORE. The cvs source should be good. Now why it does not work? I don't know. I had my fiance try the mouse but I think I may have XF86 set up wrong? I have to get home to try it. But when she (un)pluged the mouse in the software recongnized it and printed associated messages in my kernel.log so that is good. I will let you do the patches. I can't figure patches out... ;-0 Sorry Ira Weiny ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
