Try it in a different USB port. Open a terminal and run su - -c "tail -f /var/log/messages" You will be prompted for the root password. You will see the "end" of the /var/log/messages file: many system messages are logged here. Plug in the mouse, and see what lines are output. Hope this helps, James.</blockquote> </div></blockquote><div> <div> <div> Tree clues: 1. When I boot the fedora, the ligt is linking like it shoud. It means that the fedora founds the usb mouse 2. When I wrote the ansewer to the fedora list, the usb mouse started to work suddenly. It started to work after about ten minutes. I was so exited that I didn't check /var/log/messages. Then I rebooted but the mouse didn't work any more after reboot. Afterwards I tried to found from /var /log/messages what has happened.
