Can somebody out there please hhhhhheeeeellllllllpppp!!!!!.

So far my XF86Config reads ;

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "Mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"

Also /etc/sysconfig/mouse reads ;

FULLNAME = "Microsoft - Intellimouse (PS/2)"
MOUSETYPE = "ps2"
XEMU3 = "yes"
XMOUSETYPE = "PS/2"
DEVICE = /dev/input/mice"

and /etc/sysconfig/gpm reads ;

OPTIONS = " "
DEVICE = "/dev/input/mice"

This is the only combination that would load X windows, but mouse is still frozen.

Could someone please help!!!!. I'm at my wits end............

I think X works with that config because your having trouble with your psaux port and the config is trying to use the mouse on the USB port. So your avoiding the psaux problem but have no mouse. The only things I can think of would be to change the device in your x config file back to /dev/psaux and see if you can disable the psaux port and/or plug-and-play in the BIOS.

Here's the XF86Config file from my rh9 installation.

Code:

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

What's in your /proc/interrupts file? Here's mine.

Code:

I've reverted to /dev/psaux and as expected the same gpm problems returns. Now how do I disable psaux ?, I can do the pNp in the BIOS, but for psaux I'm not sure.

Anyway my /proc/interrupts reads;

CPU0
0: 11789 XT-PIC timer
1: 88 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
10: 7 XT-PIC aic7xxx,usb-ohci
12: 28 XT-PIC NE2000
14: 5707 XT-PIC ide0
15: 16 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0

On my PC there's an option to directly disable psaux. I take it that's not an option on your's and disabling pnp didn't help. What device is xt-pic-ne2000? It's using the interrupt line that my pc uses for psaux.

Ovf,

This is my /proc/interrupts

NE2000 is my network card...

ovf · 08-15-2003, 08:39 PM

I think this is an interrupt conflict. I've been searching the web for "psaux irq" and have seen some similar problems. Have you tried taking out the network card to see if the mouse works?

benue505 · 08-17-2003, 06:03 PM

ovf,

You're the man!!!!. Mouse now works fine. However I've got to get my network card in later, I'm building a network for my whole household.

ovf · 08-17-2003, 06:23 PM

That's great news! I've had my fingers crossed since my last post A few things you could try for your network card are:

- see if there are junpers on the module that will allow you to use a different interrupt.

- try a different slot

- try reserving irq12 in the bios

- try loading the network module with irq=<whateverisfree> I've never done this but I think it's done through /etc/modules.conf file.
