Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop v 2.10 (mouse not beingdetected)

[Alejandro Valenzuela Roca]

Thank you for your replies.

Mike: have you tried connecting the mouse through PS/2 (if possible)?

I'll try it tomorrow (the computer I'm using right now has only USB
ports).

Paul: the difference between your setup and mine is the fact that
there's only one receiver for both the wireless keyboard and the mouse.

The keyboard does get detected, but then I only see this Human Interface
Device which basically seems to do nothing (what can an HID do, btw?).
Here's the usbdevs output:

addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC

 addr 3: USB Optical Mouse, A4Tech
 addr 2: Synaptics WheelPad, Synaptics Inc.
addr 1: OHCI root hub, NEC
 addr 2: Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop® 2.10, Microsft

The USB Optical Mouse from A4Tech is the replacement (wired) mouse
(ums1) I'm using instead of the wireless included with the MS Optical
Desktop Junkish Edition. Currently I'm using my laptop, so there's the
Synaptics Wheelpad in ums0.

Here's a bit more of the dmesg:

The "uhub0: device problem (IOERROR), disabling port 2" line appeared
now that I've been trying to use the MS Wireless Optical Desktop Junkish
Edition (as if there was another one). It doesn't seem to affect much,
just reconnecting the MS stuff makes the keyboard work. There's that
uhid0 device as well, does anyone know what can be done with it?


Thanks again for your replies

PS:I tried using the Wireless Optical Desktop in Ubuntu Warty, but
surprisingly nothing works at all, not even the keyboard which works
here in FreeBSD.
