It does for me, but then I've only got the one mouse, on the PS/2 port, and I've told 2.6 to use /dev/psaux. So you could try something like this (untested, bit yucky, but should work): - configure X appropriately for 2.4, and copy /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config-2.4 - configure X appropriately for 2.6, and copy /etc/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config-2.6 # cat /etc/init.d/xf86configfudge #!/bin/bash XCONF=/etc/X11/XF86Config-2.`uname -r | cut -d '.' -f 2` echo Installing X config: $XCONF cp $XCONF /etc/X11/XF86Config ^D # chmod a+x /etc/init.d/xf86configfudge # ln -s /etc/init.d/xf86configfudge /etc/rc2.d/S10xf86configfudge - may need editing if you're using XF86Config-4, but the principle remains the same. Thanks for the detailed outline. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a general mechanism for this. In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if there was, but buried in obscurity somewhere! ... because... I suppose that the need for different X config files depending on kernel version only appears rarely. ...this is true. I don't think there was any need for a change between 2.2 and 2.4; and most people don't switch back and forth between radically different kernel versions very often... I suspect you won't have to either once 2.6 has been out a bit longer. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x21C61F7F pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you are using both a ps2 mouse (/dev/ps2) and usb (/dev/input/mice), or at least both interfaces for some reason (common on laptops), then you need to use only /dev/input/mice on 2.6 since all mice are piped there emulated as ImPS2, or try using /dev/input/mouse[n] I've been having the same problem, with a PS/2 and USB mouse installed in tandem. Looks from this info like I need to choose between running 2.4 and 2.6. Any suggestions about how I could dualboot between both? Please CC me, I'm not on the list.

How can I get the 2.4 mouse behavior back? If you use a PS2 mouse, remove the InputDevice Generic Mouse line in your XFree config file (Section Server Layout). With 2.6, also PS/2 mice can be accesed through /dev/input/mice additionally to /dev psaux, and maybe the signals from the mouse are now read twice by X. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
