Hello.for sure NOT, but if your super I/O controller is broken ... it depends on stars ...
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?
If you replace broken mouse (PS2), would it work properly in winblowz ?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?
If not, you have not only broken mouse, but controler on mainboard as well :-(.
