the textmode installer detects the card correctly in a later step (after the dependencies check) the same thing happens on RC1 run "lspci; lspci -n" and send the output, please. [root@kobuki /root]# lspci; lspci -n 00:05.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C496 (rev 31) 00:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Trio 64V2/DX or /GX (rev 16) 00:05.0 Class 0600: 1039:0496 (rev 31) 00:0a.0 Class 0300: 5333:8901 (rev 16) How much system ram? can you also run: python -c "import kudzu; print kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ONE)" as root? 32M system RAM - as I recall it worked in graphical mode in betas previous to
pinstripe
ran the command a command a few times, the results are interesting, mouse was
detected only once out of all tries when I didn't move the mouse. When the mouse
was moved during the detection, it either got detected, or the command
segfaulted.
[root@kobuki /root]# python -c "import kudzu; print
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ONE)"
[]
[root@kobuki /root]# python -c "import kudzu; print
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ONE)"
[('ttyS0', 'generic', 'Generic Serial Mouse')]
[root@kobuki /root]# python -c "import kudzu; print
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ONE)"
[]
[root@kobuki /root]# python -c "import kudzu; print
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_ONE)"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Does the "your mouse was not detected" screen come up? Is this the text mode screen you saw? When you were running this, you weren't running this from X, and gpm wasn't running, correct? OK, I forgot about gpm running, sorry. The python command now detects the mouse correctly every time, except when I move the mouse while the command runs. In that case it either segfaulted (once out of from like 10 tries), or just didn't detect anything. If you boot into the installer and dont move the mouse around, does it detect the mouse and install in GUI mode? No, install never-ever goes to GUI mode. I just moved the mouse accidentally while running the previous command, when it segfaulted. The 'mouse was not detected' text doesn't appear during the (text mode) install; the video card is correctly detected during the install, and X is correctly set up for the running system. During install, if I switch to VT3, there is a 'found video card controller unknown' line. Is that not related somehow to the problem? Passed to QA to reproduce. Have later betas corrected this problem? No, same problem as before, but it only seems to happen on this particular machine. Possibly hardware bug? |
