Subject: USB mouse on oldworld machine

Posted to linuxppc-user, no response.
Since I actually have YDL, thought I'd try here!
Using PowerTowerPro and bk-2.2.18pre23 (barely bootable for unrelated
reasons, but I've created some boot voodoo for the time being).
OrangeLink Firewire/USB card, ADB keyboard, Logitech 2-button optical
wheel mouse. In the console (where you can move the mouse cursor
around) and in X, the ADB mouse still works (not sure this is a good
thing), but the usbmouse will move only every once in a long while
(seemingly only when there is stray disk activity), and no response
from the buttons at all. IOW, the usb mouse is non-functional.
I've studied
<http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Franz.Sirl/inputppc.html>, and here is
what I've done:
1. Compile:
#
# USB Devices
#
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
#
# Mac device drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_ADBHID=y
CONFIG_MAC_HID=y
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y
CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y
(I've tried ADBKEYCODES and EMUMOUSEBTN on and off, same result).
2. Create input layer: installed dev-2.7.18-3b.ppc.rpm, made sure
that /dev/mouse and /dev/usbmouse are both symlinked to
/dev/input/mice.
3. Ran mouseconfig and selected all (different attempts) the USB
mouse selections. Verified that XF86Config protocol was changed to
IMPS/2. As is /etc/sysconfig/mouse.
I note the franzo page quoted above is hopelessly outdated for the
bk-2.2.18pre23 kernel I'm using. I can't tell how much to trust it,
so I have no way to know if I've done something wrong. Or left
something out. I also noted that even though I'm still using the ADB
keyboard, if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV is not on (USB section), I get no
response from the keyboard.
Here is some relevant dmesg output (irrelevant parts stripped):
input0: Macintosh mouse button emulation
ADB keyboard at 2, handler 1
Detected ADB keyboard, type ANSI.

mouse2: PS/2 mouse device for input3

Any help, please? Anybody using this particular Logitech mouse that
can clue me in?
*** Is anybody doing USB on oldworld macs??? ***
