mouse and keyboard lock up
Hi all
Since I have set up some 2.6.9 kernel configs and the
Kernel-image-2.6.9-k7_i386.deb package, I have mouse (on ps/2) and
keyboard lock up on a Compaq PC (Athlon K7): the mouse pointer
disappear, and the keyboard does not respond. The mouse is a Dell with
a wheel and 2 buttons.
I have tried to reproduce these locks up with clicking the mouse,
without success up to now. I was using a 2.4.18 kernel without troubles
before, but now I experience the some problem with that version too.
With the debian 2.6.9-k7_i386 package, I can recover with the reset
button and dmesg gives then "psmouse.c: wheel mouse at
isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away" but
most of the time I must restart the pc (and there is no indication in
the syslog)
I have seen posting saying which protocol to use with psmouse and I
have create a /etc/modprobe.d/mice with "options psmouse proto=exps"
in it (or should I have put this line in a modprobe.conf file ?)
I have also upgrade procps to version 3.2.0. but I still have that
problem. I put below some more info from dmesg, and I would appreciate
any help to trace and solve the problem !
