Hi all.
I've a "little" problem ( )
Today I started my computer with Slack 9.1, kernel 2.4.26, and after LILO menu and booting sequence, my keyboard and mouse freeze at login prompt!!! Yesterday all worked fine, and I didn't change nothing!
I've a keyboard and mouse PS/2.
The curous thing s that at lilo menu they work! With a live cd I can login. But if I try to start window manager (fluxbox) of live cd, keyboard and mouse freeze again!!!
You might have to change linux with whatever lilo knows your kernel as. This will boot your system bare, with just your root partition read-only. Then,
mount -o remount,rw /
Then go to /etc/rc.d and try disablling rc.gpm as gbonvehi says. You might also want to check over some of the other startup files. When done:
Nothing to do!
I've made changes you told me but mouse and keyboard on fluxbox freeze.
I've gpm running well with /dev/psaux and -t ps2
xorg.conf has the same configuration but X freezes.
