From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: X will not lauch with the latest kernel. It complains about the mouse configuration and gdm. I tried selecting a different mouse that used to work on prior versions of rh (i.e. Microsoft Intellimouse) instead of the generic wheel mouse PS/2 but it does not do any good. What log files would you like me to attach?? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.2-1.85 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot with kernel-2.6.2-1.85 2. 3. Actual Results: X will not launch Expected Results: X launches normally Additional info: With all of the files X etc. being updated to the latest, I can still boot normally with the prior kernel release kernel-2.6.2-1.81.
make sure your XF config doesn't reference /dev/psaux; it has been obsoleted/deprecated by /dev/input/mice in 2.6
Created attachment 97756 [details] XFree86 config file
I changed the config file to comment out the /dev/psaux line but that does not help. Further, with that line commented out, the prior version of the kernel will not boot until i uncomment the /dev/psaux line. I attached an uncommented version of my XFree86 config file for you to look at. Let me know what to do next.
The real problem is that the config tools still reference /dev/psaux, so running them doesn't help when the mouse stops working. Until then, to fix it by hand, you'll need to change /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand. Rather than comment out the line with /dev/psaux in it, you need to replace /dev/psaux with the new mouse device file--e.g.: /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouse0. You'll need to do the same thing with /etc/sysconfig/gpm too.
OK, I changed the line in the XF86Config file to /dev/input/mice and in the gpm file to /dev/mice then tried mouse0 in both config files but no of them work. Any other ideas? Also did something change between kernel versions kernel-2.6.2-1.85 and kernel-2.6.2-1.81 because if the config for XFree86 worked in 81 why wouldn't it work in 85 unless something changed.
This solved tha same problem: Comment out the "Input Device" section with Identifier "Mouse0", make sure you have a similar "Input Device": Identifier "DevInputMice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Next, in section "ServerLayout" replace Mouse0 with "DevInputDevice" to have: InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer" This worked for me ;-) Otherwise, Fedora is a great job.
Thank You. That worked great. I still have a problem when I boot though in that I have to have my wireless pcmcia card removed while booting or the boot will hang until I remove it. Once fully booted I can then insert it and everything is fine.
