 Yes, of course, thanks! :-)

  Confirmed: the culprit is really the psaux keyboard waiting patch. After
  removing the patch PS/2 mouse works fine with gpm.

 Do you have the problem with both boot and main kernels?

Nope, I fetched source rpm from cooker and compiled it with/without the
psaux patch. And there's a difference with/without it.

 Too sad. Then Thinkpad users should compile their own custom kernel? :(

Is this something that is easily floating around where it can be backed
out by TP users?  I'm not too terribly averse to rebuilding a kernel,
though that would be a first in my mandrake experience.

I agree that it should be noted.

When a fixed kernel is available then it really should be noted.

Look like they would have to hunt down in /images/alternate for another
kernel, that's anyway a lot easier than compiling their own kernel :-).

[Cooker] Why version 8.0, and when?

2001-04-16 Thread Elton Woo

AFAIK, the last official version of Mandrake was 7.2,
will the next version be called
8.0?  (...since I see this on the beta 3 install screen..., wouldn't
this be misconstrued as "false
advertising"?  Also, will there be another beta before the official
release? ... and ideas about
when the next offical Mandrake will be released? (a month, a week, just
an approximation,
please!).
