Dale a gentiment tapote: Hi folks, I'm not near as upset as I was a little while ago. I ran my updates and then took a nap while it was compiling. I woke up and they were done. Did my etc-update and went to log into KDE. No keyboard. No mouse. No nothing. I knew the new xorg-server update was going to make me change a few things but I thought I would be ABLE to change the thing. I had to unplug the computer then add softlevel=boot to get to where I could even fix the stupid thing. I'm back down to my old xorg-server-1.3* but now my mouse wheel don't work. Did this thing blow up my rat? How do i get my mouse wheel to work again? While I was trying to recover and reading, it appears I have to update my kernel for this thing to work. Something I can't do because the latest greatest kernel don't like my rig for some reason. I posted it on here somewhere a while back. Something to the effect that it is pissed at my IDE chipset. Looks like the new xorg-server is going to be masked for a while. I may have a few more questions before this mess is over. Right now, I'm going to go eat some ice cubes.

Great timing on that message. I was in console trying to get it so my keyboard would work again and read that. I think I mentioned that my kernel has a little age on it. The latest kernel doesn't like my IDE chipset so it wouldn't boot and then there were other issues too. I'll get my hammer out and beat on this in a day or so. I'm just frustrated at the moment. I think this needed a little more ironing out before going stable but maybe it is just me. Dale :_) :-)

It did get me to a point where my keyboard and mouse was sort of working tho. It is a good idea to have those even if they are commented out for testing purposes. Dale :-) :-)

I think it was when I hit the right button on the mouse. That was after I re-emerged xorg-server with -hal in package.use. After that, I went back to the old xorg-server. Xorg-server with hal left me with no keyboard or mouse. For some reason, no clue as to why, my mouse wheel is working. It wasn't working when I logged back into KDE but a little while after sending the email, it just started working.
