From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: Maybe not an XFRee86 problem directlty (but closest option!), but the Fedora installer sets up a PS/2 Mouse when the PS/2 sockets are available. However having only a PS/2 keyboard becomes a problem. Even if selecting No Mouse or USB mouse the installer still sets up the PS/" configuration in the XF86Config file. I was performing an updrage and it overwrote the previous configuration. Any way, when the login prompt appears(in text or graphical mode) the keyboard will not work unless the PS/2 mouse was also plugged in during startup. This would *really* be a problem if i had no PS/2 mouse to temporatily plugin until i manually editted the XF86Config file. This has not been a problem on a system that has no PS/2 ports Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): test3 , core 1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade Fedora core 1 or test3 on a machhine with PS/2 keyboard, but ps/2 mouse unplugged. 2.Try and log in after install Actual Results: Keyboard does not respond Expected Results: Keyboard should respond Additional info:
Not an XFree86 bug in my eyes, more of a configuration problem. Reassigning to anaconda as I'm not sure if it is anaconda or r-c-k et al. that is the best component
This sounds like a hardware problem -- I've done multiple installs with the PS/2 mouse unplugged and using PS/2 keyboard + mouse and the reference of the PS/2 mouse in the XF86Config caused no problem. Also, we only will write out the ps/2 mouse configuration if it appears that a ps/2 mouse is present as well so your hardware is ghosting the ps/2 mouse somehow.
