Re: Mouse not working and delayed keyboad input
Now it's working again. I have the advantage that I can boot off
of the Slackware root filesystem, and make changes. Unfortunately
I still don't know what, if anything, I did to get it to stop
locking. I am using /dev/psaux for the mouse, and /dev/ttyS1 for
the modem. Both work. Due to lack of support for my video card,
I run the (commercial) AccerleratedX server instead of XFree86,
but installed XFree86 3.3: they need the same fonts, libraries, etc.
I compiled a custom kernel under Slackware, and this is the kernel
I boot. One possibility is that booting the out-of-the-box Debian
kernel puts my system in a bad state in which I have this keyboard
locking problem.
Another possibility is that my problem will return once I boot
without the external mouse plugged in. It may have something to
do with compatibility with the the built-in trackpad.
I might also mention that my university-provided office machine
(a desktop) also has one of these ps/2 mice. I also set /dev/mouse
to /dev/psaux and have no problem.
