USB mouse in an Toshiba notebook
Now I'm trying to configure a USB wheel mouse. The built in touch pad mouse works fine, but the USB mouse is dead. I move the mouse and the pointer is dead.
Tried with mouseconfig, selected USB wheel and nothing happened.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Try configuring your mouse as a USB mouse again, then check your /etc/X11/XF86Config. If that file is correctly configured for your USB mouse (the fault may lie elsewhere), it should have at least one Mouse InputDevice sections where the "Device" option reads "/dev/input/mice".

Also make sure that you have the usb-support enabled in bios.

That shouldn't be necessary. Except for APM, Linux doesn't use the BIOS once it has booted completely.

How about trying this. Ok. In your XF86Config file add the section below starting Identifier Section "InputDevice".
One you've done this add the line:
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
to your Server layout, so it looks like the example below.
Make sure that Mouse0 is actually set up as a USB mouse as well.
I have no idea if this will solve your problem, but there should be no harm in trying!
nomar.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then
# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
Identifier "DevInputMice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

I had a similar problem. Like a dumbass I left my mouse connected to my laptop while I was installing RH9 and it didn't detect my touch pad correctly. So I had to go into Applications>System Settings > Mouse and select the ALPS Glidepoint (PS/2) and now all my "Mice" work correctly.
