See bug 116033 for information! What I did su successfully configure me out of this problem was: in /etc/X11/XF86Config - Section ServerLayout (Default Layout) I changed the InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" line to read InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer" That did it for X for GPM, edit /etc/sysconfig/mouse and change device line to /dev/input/mice I'm unsure if we should file bugs against the X and gpm components or perhaps kudzu in order to make sure these configurations get set correctly. This is something that has changed from from test1 released kernel to 2.6.2-1.85 so tools should be updated to reflect this change! Please advise! The tools updates are in progress. Rawhide isn't always 100% coherent, sometimes it breaks for a day or so. Using /dev/input/mice doesn't work on earlier FC1 2.4.22-1.2166.nptl, and /dev/psaux does. No usb devices on this system, just a ps2 keyboard and ps2 mouse. At what FC1/2 kernel version should the /dev/input/mice scheme work for PS2 mice? (I still have to try this on my home system, updated to "Flaming Death"). As an aside .. what should I have read to know of the change? I didn't see anything on the fedora-devel list, and /usr/src/linux-2.6.2-1.87/Documentation documents *both* input devices, and it doesn't seem to indicate that use of /dev/psaux has been deprecated. Oh - I see it now - in the middle of fedora devel message:
"rawhide report: 20040217 changes"
- disable psaux emulation.
A little oblique ... but it's RawHide! I'll test the home system
tonight, and most likely mark it closed if /dev/input/mice works.
Yes - verified using /dev/input/mice works Thanks! *** Bug 116306 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I realize this bug has been closed, but wouldn't it help to bump the version of kudzu the kernel conflicts to something that is aware of the new location of the mice devices? *** Bug 116550 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 117479 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Reclosing as duplicate of master dupe, bug alias "mouse-psaux" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 116118 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Epiphany/1.0.7 Description of problem: My first symptom after reboot was that XFree86 wouldn't start (normally start at run-level 5). The XFree log indicated a mouse problem (see Additional Info below). I rebooted, starting at run-level 1, and manually tried to start gpm. It failed, stating it couldn't open the mouse (see Add. Info below). Booting to a previous kernel-smp-2.6.2-1.81, and gpm succeeds, and XFree86 works (normally I have gpm disabled). The Xserver/desktop is unusable without the mouse. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.6.2-1.85 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Mouse fails on every boot Actual Results: critical programs (gpm, XFree86) fail Expected Results: critical programs (gpm, XFree86) work Additional info: My first symptom after reboot was that XFree86 wouldn't start (normally start at run-level 5) /var/log/XFree86.0.log indicated: (**) Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" (**) Mouse0: Protocol: "IMPS/2" (**) Option "CorePointer" (**) Mouse0: Core Pointer (**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux No such device. (EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0" OK - looks more basic than XFree86, let's reboot, starting in run-level 1, and try to start gpm ....... here's what happened: ------------------------------------------------ Script started on Tue Feb 17 22:09:22 2004 sh-2.05b# gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2 (.. also tried "-t ms3" , same result) sh-2.05b# O0o.oops(): [gpm.c(937)]: Could not open /dev/psaux. sh-2.05b# ls -l /dev/psaux crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Jan 21 09:12 /dev/psaux sh-2.05b# cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 29 fb 36 netlink 128 ptm 136 pts 180 usb Block devices: 1 ramdisk 3 ide0 9 md 22 ide1 sh-2.05b# exit ------------------------------------------------ I was root, root had R/W, the device (10) shows in /proc/devices, yet has problems ... This works without problem in FC1 test kernels: kernel-smp-2.6.1-1.61 kernel-smp-2.6.1-1.65 kernel-smp-2.6.2-1.79 kernel-smp-2.6.2-1.81 This is on a Asus P4P800 M/B (865PE + ICH5), 3.0G P4 The mouse is a IMPS2 compatible made by Mitsuko. I'd be happy to supply any other info.
