Description

system-config-mouse isn't run automatically, so I'm pretty sure that's not the right place for it. When I first booted up the new kernel that did not have psaux, "something" invoked mouse configuration. Whether this was system-config-mouse or something else, I do not know. The "hard part" is that apparently system-config-xfree86 put /dev/psaux into /etc/X11/XF86Config. If this had been "/dev/mouse", then it would be a simple matter of changing the symbolic link for ->psaux to ->input/mice Fixing things up so they work in a future test and final distribution for an upgrade is not going to be easy. I just checked today's round of updates and it includes an updated system-config-display. This may fix the mouse reconfiguration that was the objective of this bug report ... that does not mean that changes are not necessary to system-config-mouse but that my specific problem may have benn for another package is is already fixed. Once I get the new round downloaded and installed, I will set stuff package the way it originally was and try again to see if this will handle things. Nope. Whatever system-config-display changed, it does not fix the mouse problem. When the error occurs, you are lead through a bunch of panels which dows invoke mouseconfig. However, that does not fix things. *** Bug 116180 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116235 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** You close 116180 (against system-config-display) as a dup of this report (against system-config-mouse). I am not sure that is the case. This package should be changed to set mouse->input/mice instead of mouse->psaux. Even if that setting is made manually, system-config-display still sets /dev/psaux. system-config-display should be chaged to use /dev/mouse Both system-config-mouse and system-config-display use the list of mice that comes from rhpl so they are dupes of each other. Actually, this bug should be filed against rhpl. Changing components. *** Bug 116247 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Also, I'm taking this out of RFE status. It's more of a critical bug rather than an RFE. I will try to fix this today. *** Bug 115967 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thank you. *** Bug 116420 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116608 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 115982 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Should be fixed in Rawhide as of today. This touches libxf86config, rhpl, anaconda, and system-config-display. *** Bug 116714 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116803 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116800 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116974 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 117256 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 117493 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 118489 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 118370 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 118578 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm confused. Changing from /dev/psaux -> /dev/input/mouse didn't work. Changing to /dev/input/mouse0 did work. How is this thing supposed to be setup? What is /dev/input/mouse? What is /dev/input mouse0? Here are mine, are the correct? ls -l /dev/input/mouse crw------- 1 root root 10, 149 Feb 23 16:02 /dev/input/mouse [nbecker@rpppc1 ~]$ ls -l /dev/input/mouse0 crw------- 1 root root 13, 32 Feb 23 16:02 /dev/input/mouse0 You want /dev/input/mice - it's the multiplexor for /dev/input/mouse0,1,2... There is no /dev/input/mouse. *** Bug 118845 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 117479 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116092 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116306 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 116550 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have changed XF86Config to use /dev/input/mice and still X does not see the mouse. While it shows up in the log file, it doesn't do anything. *** Bug 119277 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 122034 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
