Hi, I experienced some mouse issues using Sarge (Debian stable, kernel 2.6.8). My problems were solved once I upgraded (compiled my own kernel) to kernel 2.6.12 . If you don't have the time to compile your own kernel, you can always use the Debian backports: http://backports.org . They have a 2.6.18 kernel package for etch + all archs in there.
Note that the mousedev module is dropped in kernel>=2.6.12 so you should remove it from your /etc/modules if you upgrade. Shlomil On 28/12/06, Chava Leviatan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi again, The trus is that I am not a Debian guru at all... I just need to develop some modules for the 2.6 Since I already worked with RH for the pas 2-3 years , I thught it will be nice to change to a different distro (was I wrong ?? ....) So , any other distro recomendations will be highly appreciated , as long as the mouse works ......
