It even overrides the correct /dev/input/mice entry created by system-config-display --reconfig. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-mouse-1.2.3-1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.system-config-display --reconfig # creates correct /dev/input/mice entry 2.system-config-mouse # choose 2- or 3-button PS/2, auto-detected Actual Results: After 1., X works. After 2., it breaks. Expected Results: 2. shouldn't have broken XF86Config Additional info:
FYI ... - installed (+ all updates) FC1 - Tracpoint (internal PS/2) and USB mouse works fine, first try - update (via yum) to the development tree (1.90) - mouse reconfigured with new system-config-mouse - trackpoint is not working, usb mouse is not working - graphical boot is not working - X is not working - FC1 (2.4.x) -> FC 1.90 (2.6.3) There is something nasty with mouse detection in 1.90, because when I plug/unplug mouse (during XFree session, during boot, ...), kudzu didn't recognize my USB mouse which is not working. This is perfectly working in FC1.
Wrong place for brainstorming, but what do you think about system-config-mouse that is capable to handle more than one mouse? Good idea for laptop users (like me), because I have trackpoint/touchpad on all laptops with external USB mouse ...
BTW I found the problem - rawhide loads the module ohci_ecd and my USB works with uhci-ecd only.
system-config-mouse has been removed from the latest rawhide trees. This is because all PS/2 and USB mice should use /dev/input/mice now, and there is really no longer a need to "configure" mice. Mice should essentially now be a "zero configuration" device. This does mean that we are dropping support for serial mice, but the benefits outweigh the losses. The current setup means that there is no mouse screen necessary in the installer or firstboot, and removing system-config-mouse means one less package that we have to maintain. And as long as the correct modules are being loaded, both PS/2 and USB mice should work at the same time on the same machine. This is working for me on my test machines. Anyway, I'm going to close the bug report since system-config-mouse is no longer in the tree.
