thinkpad 2.6.4 mouse cannot start X server


hello,

in Fedora Core 1, i have just installed the new rpm for kernel 2.4.6 found here (i have installed the other x86 rpms in that page just in case)

http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/

now when i boot, i get an error about the mouse and the Xserver fails to initialize.

this is my XFconfig (even though it says debian, it is Fedora. I copied the config file from somebody before and had no trouble till now). i also attach the dmesg output at the end.

could someone take a peek and see if i can get it working?

TX

atkbd.c: This is an XFree86 bug. It shouldn't access hardware directly.

Kernel 2.6 Fedora 1.90 mouse fails

I updated my kernel to 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 and now Xserver will not start. It fails on the mouse initialization. I did not have this problem in 2.6.1-1.65 version of Fedora 1.90. Has anyone else seen this problem. If I boot to 2.6.1-1.65 everything still works fine. I am stumped at this point.

Here is the short of the message:

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.


This is just your generic run of the mill 2 button PS/2 mouse.

The hardware is an HP Omnibook XE3.

Thanks

hello,

this two links have good info (specilly the first one):


http://www.geocities.com/asimshankar...migrate26.html

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...04/02/4/148608



i think in the first link the guy who wrote the page made a typo and meant modules.conf instead of modprobe.conf.

i followed all his steps except the compilation (i did an rpm) and i just cannot get the X server to start. whenever i change to

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

it will not even start at all ( not even the command line) and i have to start with a CD knoppix to change the file back.

looks like many people has the same problem
