Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 439028
Kernel hangs trying to detect PS/2 ports
Last modified: 2009-07-14 11:43:14 EDT
Fedora 9 Beta Live KDE. At bootup a Everex Cloudbook Laptop locks up at; "input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as /devices/virtual/input/input0 PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly." And there it hangs. This Laptop has no problems of detecting mouse on Fedora 8 . This laptop does not have a PS/2 controller, if you want a external mouse you have to plug into USB.
This looks like a xorg-x11-drv-mouse problem, not the mousepad editor. ;) Reassigning for you...
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
How can I produce those two files , /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.*.log I can only run from a F9-Beta-Live-Cd and it locks up when getting to mouse detection. To get these two files, is there a way I can pass to kernel a command to allow me get by this detection. On this Laptop I can only run X in the Vesa mode, there are no Linux drivers for a Via Tech. VGA CX700M2 chipset.
I can send you copies of /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg from a Fedora 8 install, Will that help ?? Jim Tate
I know have Mephis Linux installed on this laptop, but I really want Fedora on it, would the /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg files from Mepis Linux help ? Jim
No, thanks for the offer, but Mepis/Fedora 8 logs are of no use to us. However, I was reminded, that actually these messages are probably not coming from X, but from kernel itself. Reassigning

Will , I couldn't get into /var/log/messages because it was locking up and I was using the the FC9-Beta-Live CD. from what I could see from the boot process it was only trying to detect a PS/2 controller and then it just sat there locked up
I forgot to mention , this laptop, Everex CloudBook doesn't have a PS/2 controller it's all USB.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
