What does your XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file look like? I'm only having this problem after text mode installs, it seems. I get a pretty clear picture when starting X but vertical lines (edges on windows) are *somewhat* distorted. And as soon as I move a window with the mouse X will go to Tomorrowland and not respond to any input (uses 98% CPU). Will attach both the XF86Config and the XF86Config-4 file (I have both, don't know which is the one that actually gets used) from after a text mode install. Created attachment 1894 [details]

Attaching my XF86Config* files I get from after a graphical install, when everything is fine and happy. Created attachment 1914 [details]

What does /dev/mouse point to on your system? You don't happen to have a USB keyboard, do you? No, regular PS/2 keyboard (but connected through a keyboard/monitorswitch). The mouse is a regular two-button PS/2 conected directly. Will perform a text mode install again, as what I have now is a working system from a GUI install. This is from after a text mode install: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 aug 7 2000 /dev/mouse -> psaux I think it looks correct? If you use the config from after a text install, but change /dev/mouse (in the config file) to /dev/psaux, does that solve the problem? No, changing it to /dev/psaux in either of the XF86Config files had no effect. It still goes bazoo after I move a window. If you re-run the Xconfigurator from RC1 (that's what's used in text mode installs), does the problem persist? Tested with Xconfigurator-4.3.44-1 (from RC1) and Xconfigurator-4.3.48-1 (from http://people.redhat.com/teg/xc/) and both of them fix the problem. X doesn't hang now. Marking it as Resolved. I couldn't reproduce this at all in RC2. Closing this. |
