Severn and kernel 2.6-test1

ktambascio · 07-23-2003, 09:40 AM

Hi,

Yesterday I installed severn on my hp omnibook 6000. I also installed the 2.6 kernel RPMS on redhat's site. The laptop booted up fine, until I got to starting X. X would not start because of an invalid pointer device. Looking at the log, it was saying that /dev/psaux doesn't exist, and is not valid. Also the console mouse services failed to start, so it seems to be a general problem with the mouse, not just X.

Any suggestions to fix this or for places to look for more information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
kevin

is your mouse a usb mouse? if so head on over to the gentoo forums and look in "other things gentoo" theres a thread about 2.6.0-test1 thats about 12 pages long right now and very very informative theyre working on/kinda fixed the usb mouse problem

No, I believe the touchpad is detected as a PS/2 mouse, not a USB.
