Ok, this is what I got... I followed your instructions, under kernel 2.4.18 I got the following...
imps2 auto-detected unknown mouse type 14, assuming standard ps/2 and then it decided to start spewing pointing events.. (Why did this work under GDB??? I swear i just tried it earlier the exact same way without gdb and it didnt work.) so I rebooted to 2.4.16+LPP.... AHA! It fails to detect a mouse!! something in the 2.4.16 kernel or the LPP patch messes up pgserver... so I have pgserver correctly using the mouse now with the commandline gserver -i ps2mouse --input-ps2mouse.device=/dev/psaux -s ./blackout does any of this make sense to anyone as to why under 2.4.16+LPP the mouse fails? (NOTE: I'm using 2.4.16 as that is the latest kernel supported by the Linux Progress Patch, and having a pretty screen during boot is important on a consumer product.) -----Original Message----- From: Micah Dowty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 4:35 PM To: Gray, Tim Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Pgui-devel] pgserver ps2 mouse support driver Hmm.. This is really a last-resort sort of suggestion, but try this: - open pgserver in gdb - set a breakpoint at ps2mouse_init - run it with the command line options I suggested earlier - It should stop at ps2mouse_init - Step through to make sure it opens the mouse device correctly - Set a breakpoint at ps2mouse_activate - Run it, it should stop whenever you move the mouse - Make sure it decodes the packet correctly On Wed, May 22, 2002 at 02:28:39PM -0600, Gray, Tim wrote: > Ok I decided to "rip out it's guts" and try again to be sure it wasn't > something unseen causing my troubles.
