Do we have one of these in house anywhere? I have never seen this behavior on any of our machines, although we don't have this exact model laptop in house that I know of. I'm confused as to why the mouse would not work with firstboot but it works once the desktop start up. The only thing I can think of is maybe there's some rhgb interaction that makes the mouse go wonky since firstboot inherits rhgb's X server. Without a reproducable test case, I'm not sure how to proceed here. Closing since I cannot reproduce this. Please reopen this bug report if you have a reproducible test case once the next beta comes out. jrb: Could this be a rhgb/kudzu interaction problem? I've seen a number of reports on the mailing lists about this and it only seems to happen on Thinkpads. I have this exact bug on my Thinkpad T40. Anything I can test? jrb: ping? There are a number of bugs on mice not working in rhgb with thinkpads. I'd initially guess it's an X bug of some sort. |
