Oh dear... no wonder locate was lightning fast and I was thinking even for linux this is crazy fast speed. Now I know... Thank you Valdis and any thoughts on how I can get my mouse to work at the graphical login screen again ? make j$(nproc) is ok make modules_install is ok make install is ok but after selecting the new kernel at the GRUB2 menu it hangs at the graphical login and I am stumped. Soo... that is why 'locate' is so damn fast :-) _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
