I have a problem which has been driving me nuts today. I decided to have a bit of fun and build/install a 2.6.0-test9 kernel on my PC, which is a fairly standard AMD Athlon based PC which has worked fine with SuSE 8.[012] , and also with Gentoo 1.4 which is currently my day to day working distro. Had a few teething problems with the 2.6 kernel, and ironed most of them out, but the one I can't seem to fathom, is that the mouse won't work.
I've looked in the dmesg output, and there's nothing untoward there, looked through the kernel config lots of times and built lots of kernels, all to no avail. When XF86 starts the mouse won't move, even tried doing a:
cat < /dev/misc/psaux
while moving the mouse, and it gives nothing. My current mouse is a USB mouse, but connected via a PS/2 adapter, but that isn't the source of the problem as an ordinary Micr*s*ft PS/2 mouse doesn't work either. Did check the interrupts info from /proc, but that is the same on the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
I feel sure I've overlooked something blindingly obvious, so hopefully it'll be case of just pointing me towards a simple fix. Anyhow, I'd be really grateful for any advice on what to check, or where to look to get further info towards resolving this.
Thanks in advance, -Bruce
