Description Wade Mealing 2007-04-26 01:27:44 UTC
Description of problem:

The RHEL5 Manual states that the mouse parameter is both required and
deprecated, and halts if provided.  This is not entirely true.

If provided, it will not halt the install.
It is not required, since it is deprecated, xorg finds the mouse fine without it.

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

Current website. ( Thursday, April 26 2007 )

Additional info:

change -

mouse (required)

       The mouse keyword is deprecated and its use will now cause an error
       message to be printed to the screen and installation to halt.


to -


mouse (required)

       The mouse keyword is deprecated.

This is still incorrect on our Web site.  Can I get an ETA for when it will be
updated?
