Re: Sarge Kernel 2.6 and (K)dm)

[Tim Ruehsen <tim.ruehsen@gmx.de>]

Hello Björn,

I had the same problem with SID. First of all I had to update /etc/modules:
(Commented entries were working with kernel 2.4)
#usb-uhci
uhci-hcd
#input
#usbkbd
#keybdev
psmouse
mousedev
e100
#ide-scsi
usb-storage

With kernel 2.6 PS/2 mouses have an own kernel module.

My active mouse section from /etc/X11/XF86config-4 looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

I hope that's all (i'm not 100% sure).

Tim
