Hello,

I am trying to "Chain of Fools" from SUSE Linux 9.1 right up to openSUSE 12.1 M3. (I'm updating SUSE through each consecutive version for the fun of it). At 11.2, the mouse and keyboard stopped working once X started. I've tried PS/2. Sax2 has the same freezing issue. After spending hours timing the installs and working at it, it is really disapointing having to stop this close. Are there any tricks I can use to maybe delete a bad config and get this working? A clean of install of 11.2 works natively, and at 10.1 and 11.1 I redid my X configurations. Any suggestions appreciated.

If a clean install works, but a step-wise version upgrade via yast, zypper, apt4rpm, or whatever management app you are using does not, that suggests a bug in the upgrade scripts omitting one or more critical steps.

Try booting to runlevel 3, run sax2, then init 5. Does that inprove your situation?

When I start sax2, the same stuck cursor issue happened and sax2 froze. Even the keyboard won't work. Everything worked fine through 11.1.
