Hello. I'm almost sure this is not a gentoo specific question, but I think someone might happen to know something about it, so here it goes. I'm running gentoo (1.4, up to date) at home, with no problems at all. As of 3 days ago, mouse stopped working (both in windows and in linux), so I figured it could be a mouse problem. However, when I disconnected the mouse from the ps/2 port, the keyboard would hang when something tried to open /dev/psaux (either gpm or X), so I asked someone to log in remotely to test it, and yes, when he killed gpm, keyboard was back normally. I brought the mouse to another computer, and it won't work no matter what, so I guess the mouse is faulty anyway. However... is it normal or expected behaviour, or a known bug of gpm or the kernel (2.4.20-gentoo-r.. don't remember the number, but it's the latest official stable gentoo kernel), that when something opens /dev/psaux, it will hang the keyboard? I'm really confused on this, but just hoping that it doesn't have anything to do with the motherboard (Soyo DragonPlus) superIO chio, else I think i'll have to either get a USB mouse or get a new motherboard.
Any advice on this? -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ UIN: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |
