Hello, I'm trying to locate out a problem I'm having with XFree86 + linux-2.6.0-test1. My goal is figure out what is causing the problem ( xfree86, linux kernel, packages, or a library) so that I can report the bug to the right place. I'm looking for suggestions to help me figure out where the bug is.
System: P4 Xeon Logitech optical mouse Debian testing/sid linux 2.5.75, 2.6.0-test1 Debian testing/sid xfree86 4.2.1-6 and 4.2.1-9 Symptoms: - Intermittently, the mouse "locks up". The mouse cursor no longer moves. - The keyboard will sometimes lock up, but seperately from the mouse and not nearly as often. - Switching virtual terminals from,to X returns functionality - cat'ing /proc/bus/usb/devices frees the mouse - un/re-plugging the mouse restores the mouse - When the mouse is locked, I cannot read /dev/input/mice. When the mouse is not locked, this is not the case: cat /dev/input/mice shows data. - This does not occur with older linux kernels, 2.4.20 & 2.4.21 - I'm also having problems being able to switch back to the virtual terminals from X. The VT screen contains the X screen, but corrupted, and the VT text doesn't write over it, yet I know the VT is active because I can type "reboot" and listen to my system shutdown. - I haven't been able to reproduce this outside of X It isn't obvious to me what is causing the problem. It seems, from the outside, that either X or the kernel is locking the devices and preventing anything from reading them, yet certain actions cause an unlock. Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas or suggestions as to what I can do to track this down? Thanks, Michael -- _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
