Description of problem: During a new install, either standard or using "noprobe", the installer finds a generic 3-button ps2 mouse, an unprobed monitor, and an nVidia video card. The finding on the mouse is incorrect. It is actually a Synaptics laptop touchpad. I am never given a screen where I can confirm or modify the mouse type the installer has "probed". I do get a screen to select the monitor. I get no screen as well for the video card, but it isn't causing any problems with the generic nVidia it selects on its own. The problem with the mouse selection is that I don't get the taps and scrolls that should be part of the touchpad setup. The bigger problem is that the installer should, I think, be allowing me to confirm or modify the hardware it sets up for the monitor, card and pointing device, and it is only allowing a selection for the monitor. I do get language choices and keyboard choices, but it goes from those to monitor to partitioning, with no chance for video or pointer modifications. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start install from CD-1 2.Wait for opportunity to verify/modify pointing device selection. 3. Actual results: Lets me select/modify the screen type, but not the video card or the pointing device. Goes from language choice to screen choice to partitioning settings. Expected results: I should be able to change the incorrect automatic selection on the pointing device to the actual device by going through a lost of manufacturers and models, as in the screen selection. Additional info: Computer is a Dell Inspiron 5150 Laptop
This is intentional since the new input layer in 2.6 makes it so that things should "just work" for the general case. Anything special like mouse taps, etc can be configurable post-install (and preferably on a per-user basis)
