Hi, I've upgraded Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 and I am having problems with mouse detection. It seems it is due to devfs support configuration.
When X Windows starts, either on system bootup or just after doing 'killall X', mouse does not respond. If I do CRTL + ALT + F1 and I go back to X with ALT + F7, X Window freezes for half a second and then comes back with the mouse working properly! I cannot make gpm work either from system bootup, even configuring it saying that my mouse is /dev/misc/psaux instead of /dev/mouse. It seems the device file /dev/misc/psaux is not accesible at boot time. The funny thing is that if I go to a text console again after bootup and I do /etc/init.d/gpm start then the gpm works fine. I think this behavior is just seen in kernels with devfs support. Do someone know why is this happening? Is there a way to fix it without switching off devfs support? Thanks very much in advance! Jose
