Description Gerald Teschl 2001-03-16 14:02:13 UTC
I made a ks installation on an old PI box with an ATI 3D Rage II+ card:

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB
[Mach64 GTB] (rev 9a)
00:0d.0 Class 0300: 1002:4755 (rev 9a)

However, with the default mode 800x600@16bpp both the keybord and mouse do
no
longer react as soon as X starts. I logged in via ssh and changed it to
1024x768@16bpp restarted X and everything worked normal.

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-16 14:40:53 UTC
Please attach your X server logs and your X configuration using the file
attachment link below.  Also, please try the latest XFree86 and Mesa releases
from:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris

Attach logs, etc.. from this also if it does not solve the problem.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-17 20:40:05 UTC
This could be a duplicate of bug #30651, bug #27148 and possibly others..

Comment 3 Gerald Teschl 2001-03-18 18:56:33 UTC
This is an anaconda error:

The box has a serial mouse (it doesn't have a ps/2 port at all) which is
detected correctly
according to /etc/sysconfig/mouse. However, anaconda sets up the XF86Config-4
for a ps/2 mouse.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-19 20:18:29 UTC
Reassigning to package owner.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-20 05:10:23 UTC
Brent please investigate.

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2001-03-20 16:30:25 UTC
We have fixed a couple of issues related to serial mice, so I think this issue
may already be resolved, but I'll do a test just in case.

Comment 7 Brent Fox 2001-03-20 16:38:29 UTC
Can you attach your kickstart file?  That would let me do an exact test of the
kind of install that you ran.

Comment 8 Gerald Teschl 2001-03-21 10:36:22 UTC
Just did a test with qa0319:

Here is the /etc/sysconfig/mouse which is correct:
---------------------------------
FULLNAME="Generic - 2 Button Mouse (serial)"
MOUSETYPE="Microsoft"
XEMU3="yes"
XMOUSETYPE="Microsoft"
----------------------------------
But /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 contains
----------------------------------
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
----------------------------------
similar for /etc/X11/XF86Config.

I'll attach my ks.cfg file.

Comment 9 Gerald Teschl 2001-03-21 10:37:21 UTC
Created attachment 13223 [details]
ks configuration file

Comment 10 Michael Fulbright 2001-04-02 15:40:51 UTC
Brent please verify this is corrected.

Comment 11 Brent Fox 2001-04-02 22:20:10 UTC
From looking at the package section of your XF86Config file, it looks to me like
X Windows would not get installed at all.  But then, it seems like that would
conflict with the section of the kickstart file where you specify to start X on
boot and to use KDE as the default desktop.  I think something may by wrong with
your kickstart file.

Comment 12 Brent Fox 2001-04-04 18:40:39 UTC
Try putting something like 'Gnome Workstation' in the package section and see if
that makes any difference.
