Re: [Cooker] AutoInstall: no keyboard, no mouse in X

[Norman Cleesattel]

This also happens of course with a combination of USB mouse and PS/2
keyboard.

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).

And for me. Never had a problem with a PS/2 keyboard and USB mouse on
Cooker.
