Description

Well known bug, unfortunately upstream is indiffirent, because the problem is in Dell BIOS. I have a workaround for this, which removes the workaround for Dell C600 and creates a generic case for C600 and I5000. Created attachment 89592 [details]
Workaround
Do not dup onto 70796, that one has no data. There was another one though, I'll try to find it. L.L, would you mind to attach the output of dmidecode? Please do not drop it into the comments box. I'm not sure we'll need it, but let's have it just in case. The dmidecode is a part of kernel-utils RPM. *** Bug 82690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** User mode workaround exits. Make sure that the X11 is configured to open both /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice, instead of switching back and forth with mouseconfig. Verify it with looking at /proc/interrupts, the IRQ 12 must be in use. Sample XF86Config fragment: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time. Identifier "DevInputMice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" EndSection Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
