this appears to have been fixed with the config/fallback changes in 55, 56, and 57 Well, with 57 my mouse no longer works at all in X. Hence I reopen this ticket until I learn more about why this is the case. I see this during service gpm restart and at reboot: Shutting down console mouse services: [ OK ] Starting console mouse services: inputattach: can't set line discipline [ OK ] Downgraded to 54, and after the second service gpm restart my mouse in X starting working again. $ cat /etc/sysconfig/gpm # Additional options for gpm (e.g. acceleration), device OPTIONS="" DEVICE="/dev/input/mice" MOUSETYPE="exps2" $ cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (serial)" MOUSETYPE="Microsoft" XEMU3="no" XMOUSETYPE="Microsoft" IMOUSETYPE="ms" DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 The older versions were overriding the MOUSETYPE to exps2 (which is universal for everything in 2.6 except for serial mice). Release -62 shouldn't mess with the DEVICE or the MOUSETYPE if they've already been set in /etc/sysconfig/mouse, so this should be fixed now. Can't confirm. Upgraded to $ rpm -q gpm gpm-1.20.1-62 while being within X, and my mouse stopped working. I then switched to virtual console to run "service gpm restart", and the mouse in X stayed dead. As a work-around I downgraded to 54 again, stopped gpm before upgrading it to 62. Now I'm back at the original bug report. Every second "service gpm restart" causes a non-working mouse in X. |
