From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: kernel-2.6.6-1.427 causes problems with Xorg - erratic and ill defined mouse behaviour being most noticeable. This seems to be related to the following message: KDSKBENT: Invalid argument failed to bind key 255 to value 814 This message appears on the terminal whenever changing runlevel and when shutting down. From a quick google, this seems to be an SElinux issue, though I am, and always have, run in permissive mode. This is on a very fresh install of FC2. This problem is NOT present in kernel-2.6.5-1.358 In X, the mouse behaviour is not reproducible, sometimes it happens, sometimes not, but it manifests itself as an inabilty to switch focus with the mouse, the mouse cursor doesn't change from the text entry bar to the pointer etc. This bug renders the system unuseable, forcing a reboot and use of an earlier kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.6-1.427 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel-2.6.6-1.427 2. To see message, change init level 3. Actual Results: KDSKBENT: Invalid argument failed to bind key 255 to value 814 Expected Results: No errors Additional info:
On my machine I have this warning: KDSKBENT: Invalid argument failed to bind key 255 to value 2707 kernel-2.6.6-1.424 doesn't have this bug. I didn't have such a big problem with mouse, only my middle button was acting weird - it was making two 'clicks', not one. For example, in Mozilla, it was closing two opened tabs, not one (realy annoying). Unfortunatelly, I don't remember when it exactly started (few days ago, I presume), because most of the time mouse works correctly.
I'm not clear that this is SELinux-related. Try booting with selinux=0 or setting SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and see if the problem still occurs.

This problem may be fixed in kernel-2.6.7-1.437 ( http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/ )
kernel-2.6.7-1.437 works for me :-) And sorry for misleading you: problem with my mouse is hardware issue :( I ran today WinXP and problem with middle button reappeared :/
Good news: The KDSKBENT messages have disappeared in kernel 2.6.6-1.435 This alone did not fix the problem with the mouse. Having looked at other bug reports, and noting that the mouse is a USB mouse, I disabled legacy USB support in the Bios, and now all is well. So I think the KDSKBENT messages, although being a bug, did not cause the mouse problems - that's a USB bug/feature. Not sure which. I haven't changed the status of the bug, as I'm not entirely sure which resolution is appropriate - please change as you see fit.
This problem happens again in kernel-2.6.7-1.457.
Just want to add that on a fresh install of FC2 with all available updates to date, which includes kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3, I get the KDSKBENT error. If I boot with the original kernel and the kernel just previous to the current one, I don't get the error.
