Description of problem: On a Toshiba laptop running X and a PS/2 mouse after plug-in a serial console connection to a Fortigate firewall, unwanted automagical load of sermouse results in PS/2 mouse becomes unusable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-084-13-fc5.2 How reproducible: Every time after serial console connection plug-in Additional info: I already tried "alias sermouse off" in /etc/modprobe.conf, but this won't help. I'm not sure whether udev causes this problem, but if it's kernel related, pls. change component.
install sermouse /bin/true would help... to see, if udev is loading the module, execute: /sbin/udevcontrol log_priority=debug and look in /var/log/messages
After further investigation I found that I claim the wrong package for that problem. Module "sermouse" was loaded by gpm-initscript. And this was caused by the existance of an old /etc/sysconfig/mouse specifying a serial mouse... Will close the bug, thank you for the hint, sorry for annoyance.
