[Cooker] AutoInstall: no keyboard, no mouse in X
Since about 2 days neither keyboard nor mouse does work if 'kdm' is up after a fresh AutoInstall. First, I thought my hardware is broken, but today I could check with several boxes: If there is a PS/2 keyboard and a serial mouse at ttyS0 connected, then the generated 'auto_inst.cfg.pl' contains 'mouse' = { 'auxmouse' = { 'XMOUSETYPE' = 'PS/2', 'unsafe' = 1, 'name' = 'Standard', 'nbuttons' = 2, 'type' = 'PS/2', 'device' = 'psaux', 'MOUSETYPE' = 'ps/2' }, 'XMOUSETYPE' = 'Microsoft', 'name' = 'Generic 2 Button Mouse', 'type' = 'serial', 'nbuttons' = 2, 'device' = 'ttyS0', 'MOUSETYPE' = 'Microsoft', 'wacom' = [] }, In 'XF86Config-4' there are the entries Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol Microsoft Option Device /dev/ttyS0 Option Emulate3Buttons Option Emulate3Timeout 50 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse2 Driver mouse Option Protocol PS/2 Option Device /dev/psaux Option Emulate3Buttons Option Emulate3Timeout 50 EndSection respectively. If I uncomment the wrong 'Mouse2' entry, all is fine.

This also happens of course with a combination of USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard. regards, Norm Am Fre, 2002-09-06 um 18.27 schrieb Pixel: Nora Etukudo [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: First, I thought my hardware is broken, but today I could check with several boxes: If there is a PS/2 keyboard and a serial mouse at ttyS0 connected, then the generated 'auto_inst.cfg.pl' contains :-( a PS/2 mouse is detected even if not present. workarounding this: during install, don't probe PS/2 mice when a serial mouse is already found. (otherwise if a PS/2 keyboard is present, a PS/2 is found even if absent, and configuring an auxmouse PS/2 causes the PS/2 keyboard to freeze) thanks!

It works fine here

It works fine here I'm not doing autoinstall, but the combination of USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard is fatally broken here. It looks like the mouse has finally been fixed (that was just a general usb problem, I saw it in one of the changelogs), but the PS/2 keyboard locks up when an X server takes control of the screen. Running toppler or clanbomber as the owner of the X server (root during KDM, someone logged in otherwise) unlocks it (until you logout, or switch to a VC). __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
