traditionally, ps/2 is not a hotplug-capable bug. Current machines are probably safe, but you can toast older machines electrically doing ps/2 hotplug. well, keeping driver in the kernel will not help saving old machines from being toasted with ps/2 on the fly connection but will definitely restrict users with recent hardware to plug it in when they want or can Andriy this also hasn't much to do with in-kernel vs module btw I've occasionally plugged in keyboards and mice after boot, and that just works. Yes kudzu gets confused but the kernel side just works. Closing out bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack of response. Please attempt to confirm with more recent releases. |
