Description Yovko Lambrev 2003-11-10 10:06:20 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016

Description of problem:
The problem is stupid but sometimes after rhgb finished and I recieve
gdm login screen I have no mouse at all. I can find the followig in my
/var/log/messages:

Nov 10 09:29:25 eos gpm: gpm startup succeeded
...
Nov 10 09:29:47 eos gpm[778]: O0o.oops(): [gpm.c(949)]:
Nov 10 09:29:47 eos gpm[778]: mouse initialization failed

My gpm process looks like gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2 when it works...

Sometimes my mouse works but with strange habit (pointer jumps and
going me crazy). Sometimes everything is OK but only in X. I have
never working gpm mouse in console after rhgb...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gpm-1.20.1-38

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with rhgb
2. Wait for gdm login screen


Actual Results:  30% mouse just won't work, 40% works bad (crazy
pointer), 30% everything is OK

Additional info:

I've just deinstalled rhgb... 

rpm -e rhgb 

and everything is OK now

Comment 1 Eido Inoue 2003-11-10 20:40:58 UTC

what does the mouse configuration in /etc/X11/XFConfig look like?
(just the sections related to the mouse/mice)

          # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then

I confirm this bug, when I try restart gpm in log file I get something
like this:

Nov 10 00:07:49 lt gpm: gpm shutdown failed
Nov 10 00:07:49 lt gpm[6262]: O0o.oops(): [gpm.c(949)]: 
Nov 10 00:07:49 lt gpm[6262]: mouse initialization failed
Nov 10 00:07:49 lt gpm: O0o.oops(): [gpm.c(949)]: 
Nov 10 00:07:49 lt gpm: gpm startup succeeded

lt:~# ps -ef |grep gpm
root      3200     1  0 20:49 ?        00:00:00 gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2

Below is my mouse section taken from XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Comment 5 Arvind Narayanan 2003-11-24 13:14:50 UTC

I have this problem too. Mouse is PS/2 Wheel. In my case it didn't
work even once. Is it possible to start gpm before rhgb?

Comment 7 Eido Inoue 2004-02-20 22:42:57 UTC

gpm seems to behave much better in the current release
(FC2-1.90-test1), including various combinations of killing and
restarting X, it seems relatively stable.
