From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040525 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: this should be broken in 2 bugs, both related to innapropiate kernel param defaults: 1. mouse: when using intelligent switchers, switching to a different machine and back, your mouse operations go to lala land. this happens with all the mouse models and switchers... solution: add the follwing default kernel param: linux ...etc... psmouse.proto=imps 2. video-card: with several video cards and monitors i've used you are unable to detect the max refresh rates of the monitor so, implicitly your distro goes to lala land... this happens after you went away from xfrer86... solution: add the follwing default kernel param: linux ...etc... nofb or go to the x.org's config file and un-comment the right horisontal and veritcal refresh settings... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fc2 2. switch to a different machine & come back / restart Actual Results: mouse enters lala-land / your monitor is asked a refresh rate it's not capable of serving... Expected Results: you should be able to use the mouse after switching you should be able to use your monitor after restart Additional info: n/a
The mouse one is hard to fix. the exact ps mode depends upon what the keyboard switch emulates and whether it emulates even when the mouse is on that port. I'm interested in your comment that nofb helps get DDC probing to work. Can you give me more hardware info here ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
