Hey all, I just had an interesting go-round with my newly-upgraded workstation. I installed 2.6.0-test9 and found my mouse was behaving very strangely. It jumped around the screen a lot, and the mousewheel was inoperative. Nothing had changed except the kernel, so I dug into Google a bit and then reconfigured my kernel. Everything is now fine, but you may find this interesting. It appears that the new input layer in 2.6.x has broken existing PS/2 mouse setups. My mouse is actually USB, but since I had 'legacy USB support' enabled in BIOS and had compiled the PS/2 mouse driver into the kernel it was using the PS/2 driver. In order to return my mouse to normal I had to remove PS/2 and the USB Boot Protocol drivers from my kernel, replacing them with the Full HID and HID Input Layer drivers. I also compiled in the USB and UHCI drivers (rather than using modules), which fixed my no-usb-keyboard-on-softboot problems.
So if you should happen to play with the new kernel, I recommend a USB mouse. Hopefully they'll fix this before long, but you wanted a new mouse anyway, right? ;) _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
