Hi,
I recently compiled 2.6.15.5 on my dell laptop, which has ALPS
Glidepoint Touchpad. During bootup, sometimes mouse is getting
configured and sometimes not. Because there is no /dev/mouse, KDE is
not starting sometimes. I have to remove "psmouse" modue and reload it
again for the mouse to work fine. On some occasions, it takes some
time before /dev/mouse appears. Does anybody know about this flaky
behavior and what I should do to get around it?
Try /dev/nput/mice, which is usually better (e.g. if you add a usb
mouse while booted). Alternatively, be brave and try a 2.6.16-rc kernel
- I've seen a problem with old X configs using /dev/mouse that
*appeared* to be ok when using 2.6.16-rc, certainly -rc5 on this box
does have a /dev/mouse.
