[gentoo-user] ps2 mouse
Hi all, I compiled 2.6.1 kernel on my gentoo distr and the behavior of my PS/2 mouse is changed. It seems to be too sensitive and then unusable. This will happen both in text mode (using gpm) and X. The mouse works fine in 2.4. I read from the linux mail list archive that this is not a new problem and several suggestions have been submitted. I tried using: psmouse_noext=1 (as suggested by Torvalds) as boot parameter but it does not work. Then I tried also with psmouse_rate=60 psmouse_resolution=200 but it does not work too. Any suggestion? PS let me know if you need more info. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That's not a pretty solution, but it will most definitely work for you. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse
I had a similiar problem with my optical mouse doing the same thing, amongst other issues. If I unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in, it would work fine. However, if I moved the mouse while in a console rather than X, my keyboard would not work until I unplugged the mouse and reconnected it. Unfortunately, I was only able to fix this by replacing my wireless keyboard with a wired keyboard. -- Neil Rachynski -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Kirk Lancaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, February 5, 2004 11:43 am Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse On Thursday 05 February 2004 12:24 pm, Alex Nelson wrote: I use a kvm (between a 533Mh Alpha running Red Hat (2.4 kernel) and a AMD-64 running Gentoo (2.6 kernel)).

Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse
From Webopedia.com : KVM switch Last modified: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 Short for keyboard, video, mouse switch, a hardware device that enables a single keyboard, video monitor and mouse to control more than one computer one at a time. KVM switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse. KVM switches are also used by business to save money when one person uses more than one computer and in server farms where it is only necessary to periodically access each separate server in the farm one at a time. -- Neil Rachynsk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Koala Gnu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, February 5, 2004 12:41 pm Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] ps2 mouse kvm?
