This pertains to the package with version number 3.7-2 for the sparc found in the RawHide 1.3.3 distribution. The mouseconfig autoprobe fails on my SparcStation 20. In particular "mouseconfig --kickstart" exits with a non-zero return value. This causes kickstart to fall back to interactive mode. Oddly enough, if you add "--noprobe", it correctly detects the mouse and doesn't return an error.
Is this still valid?
I've tested the version of mouseconfig in RedHat 6.0, and the problem seems to have gone away.
