Hello,
after several successful upgrades to RC5 I am having some problems
with keyboard and mouse on another machine. On boot everything
works fine, both deviced get detected properly:
input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
When I try to start X (Nvidia board) the machine seems to
lock up. However it just seems to lose control over keyboard
and mouse.
The X server says:
(EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
Of course the device that's configured in xorg.conf
doesn't exist:
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Isn't udev supposed to take care for that?
Or do I really have to supply the strange device names
from above in the X config?
Additionally mouse and keyboard stopped working in
the console, too.
thanks for your help
Oliver
I believe that you need to change "/dev/psaux" to "/dev/input/mice"
I don't know why udev, or some other upgrade package, failed to take
care of this.
Its bitten lots of people.
