Re: Mouse not working and delayed keyboad input
Now it's working again. I have the advantage that I can boot off of the Slackware root filesystem, and make changes. Unfortunately I still don't know what, if anything, I did to get it to stop locking. I am using /dev/psaux for the mouse, and /dev/ttyS1 for the modem. Both work. Due to lack of support for my video card, I run the (commercial) AccerleratedX server instead of XFree86, but installed XFree86 3.3: they need the same fonts, libraries, etc. I compiled a custom kernel under Slackware, and this is the kernel I boot. One possibility is that booting the out-of-the-box Debian kernel puts my system in a bad state in which I have this keyboard locking problem. Another possibility is that my problem will return once I boot without the external mouse plugged in. It may have something to do with compatibility with the the built-in trackpad. I might also mention that my university-provided office machine (a desktop) also has one of these ps/2 mice. I also set /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux and have no problem.

If anyone has a solution, I'd like to know, as I'm still clueless. Thanks, P.S. If this is relevant, I set the mouse (a ps/2) to /dev/psaux. Should this go to one of the /dev/ttyS*? No solution yet but I find it interesting that you are using a ps/2 mouse because I have the same mouse. Perhaps this is something that has to do with the /dev/psaux. It used to work before though until I tried updating my Xserver. I also have many other problems with pcmcia modem not working etc, but I would like to have this fixed first. ~~~ D.J.

I now have a problem with my Debian 1.3.1 on the TI Extensa 575CD laptop. I have been struggling with setting up X (card: Cirrus CL-GD7543 chip). After loggin keyboard input works fine until I touch the mouse then the computer waits something like five minutes before I can type anything. The mouse use to work under X but now it does not. I have checked the bug reports but the suggestion of killing gpm does not work for me. Any help? ~~~ D.J.
