Or just cat /dev/input/mice and move the mouse around. ;-) Ok wierd. I ram gpm -m /dev/mouse and my keyboard locked up. so maybe when USB is kicked in it kills hardware? Knoppix works [I tried it recently] with all it's USB mouse/PS2 keyboard glory [using 2.4.21-xfs from knoppix] Well then, you've isolated the problem (further). Some sort of conflict between usb and ps2. So maybe the problem is actually in a recent USB tools update? There were updates to usbutils on the 7th and 8th of this month, so you can try downgrading it. Have you tried acpi=off and such options to the kernel? Sorry much too late. I have work todo so I sadly moved back to WinXP [arrg] for the time being. Thanks anyways. For what it's worth I had -r1 of usbutils installed [so did my bro] which is older than this month [by default emerge usbutils will get -r1]. My setup was fairly typical: AMD XP 2400+ ASUS A7V333 Motherboard USB Mouse [Microsoft IntelliMouse] PS2 Keyboard [104-key fairly standard thingy] IDE hard disk, IDE cdrom [LG combo] CMPCI audio BTTV tv tuner GeForce Ti200 Video Card In my most recent build with 2.4.20-r7 [gentoo-sources], 2.4.20 [vanilla] and 2.4.22 all of the devices seemed to load correctly. The trouble was as soon as I tried to use the mouse the keyboard controller halted. The keyboard kept buffering keys though [which was wierd]. I had installed Gentoo 1.4 in July and it worked perfectly. So the break is in one of the usb related tools/drivers merged in since I last installed. I've tried a 1.4 released CD [athlon-xp] and a x86-1.4 [sept 9th] basic bootstrap build. Both failed. Anyways, I have school work todo and a book to write so I have to just use WinXP to get work done [no way!] Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] hotplug and module loading
Top-posting cuz your post came as an attachment??? Ya you have to emerge hotplug then rc-update add it to the default run level before building the kernel [well it doesn't matter but might as well follow the instructions]. You have to add hotplug support to your kernel configuration. If all goes well the hotplug script will automatically load all of your devices for you at boot time. It worked for me when I last built in July. Everything such as my ethernet, sound, tv tuner, scanner, mouse, etc... was detected. Recently though I have found that the USB support is broken on my box. I'm not nix-pro enough to figure out why it doesn't work. For the most part hotplug is well worth it. Saves much time. Tom --- I just recently looked over the new 1.4 install instructions, very nice job by the way. I noticed that hotplug is used by default in the install now. I have never used hotplug but it seems interesting, if I understand correctly I can build my kernel as usual, enable the modules that I want/need make the kernel and set hotplug to run in the default runtime and have hotplug load all the modules that I need when I need them without me having to put them in /etc/modules.autoload (BTW when did /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-version replace /etc/modules.autoload...I just realized this today.)? I know that was a long sentence but I'm trying to understand hotplug and it sounds really interesting. If someone could correct me or clarify that what I think is true then I definitely have some kernel rebuilding in my near future. Thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
