should be fixed in rawhide Just updated my test system to all the latest development updates, including kernel-2.6.3-1.106 and the problem still persists. you need to create a new x config with the updated config tools Created attachment 98046 [details]
New XFree86 config file from the system-config-display command
As suggested I create a new XF86Config file using the tool system-config-display but when I tried to start X11 with it using kernel 2.6.3-1.106 it failed as before. I created it under 2.6.1-1.65 as the command failed under the latest kernel. I have attached the new configuration file to this ticket for reference. I dont believe its a XFree86 problem because with kernel 2.6.3-1.106 an "od /dev/mouse" gives a such "no such device" error message, whereas I would expect it to return data, as soon as the mouse is moved, regardless of whether X11 is running or not. This too me suggests it is a kernel issue. /dev/psaux is obsolete. its been intentionally removed because of this. *** 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 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1) Description of problem: Since applying the latest development updates, X11 does not start. It works when booting with kernel-2.6.1-1.65 but fails with kernel-2.6.3-1.[91,97,100] It happens during the boot to runlevel 5 or by using the "startx" command, running as root has no effect on the problem so it not permissions. As it works with a earlier kernel, its not the latest XFree builds. Has the major/minor numbers changed between the 2.6.1 & 2.6.3 trees?
