After seeing the current thread on the keyboard/screen dying, I thought I
would toss this in to see what everybody thought on the issue.
I've got a Logitech Cordless MouseMan Wheel mouse running with RH9 and the
nVidia X server drivers. Usually about once or twice a day, the mouse
pointer will freeze and I can no longer use the mouse to get around.
If I happen to have a console/terminal window open, I can start/restart
the gpm service and get my mouse back. Otherwise I have to
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace the X server and restart it to get the mouse back.
I've tried disabling the gpm service and that doesn't seem to help any.
This also occured with the default X server drivers that RedHat used when
I originally installed, so it doesn't seem to be a problem
specifically with the drivers that I downloaded from nVidia.
Here's the relevant sections from the /etc/X11/XF86config file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
# Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection
DRI was already disabled before I saw the earlier post on it.
Any suggestions? Thoughts?
I've got it to the point of mildly annoying, but would like to eliminate
it without getting a new mouse....
