Hi!
I´m running a debian unstable since two weeks ago, and
it was perfect till I start messing around and now
mouse doesn´t work. I don´t know if it´s related with
what I did or not: I changed some links in the rx*.d
files, in order to start X directly at init (I think I
just did that with xdm, kdm or xsession links, not
changing anything more) and I tried to patch the
kernel in order to get ACPI working. I didn´t succeed
in any of the two, but shortly before all that the
mouse stopped working.
I've tried with another mouse and nothing. I boot from
a Knoppix CD and mouse works without problems. I´ve
compared the section regardind the mouse in the
Xconfig86-4 file that comes with Knoppix ant the one
in my system and they are exact copies. So, why does
work in one and not in the other?
I don´t know where to look. I did a "apropos mouse"
and found a test-configuration mouse program. I ran it
and it didn´t detect my mouse either.
Do you think it can have anything to do with whith the
rc*.d files or the patch for the kernel? How can I try
to solve this? I wouldn´t like reinstalling my system
all over again.
