Well, my report was not very accurate :-(<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/17/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Fabio Comolli</b> <<a href="mailto:fabio.comolli@gmail.com">fabio.comolli@gmail.com</a>> wrote:

Booting this kernel prevents X to start on my laptop.<br>
<br>
It looks that /sys/class/input does not contain all the entries needed
(the laptop is an ancient HP Omnibook equipped with a synaptics
touchpad).</blockquote><div><br>
/sys/class/input is OK, the problem is in /dev/input.<br>
<br>
With my 2.6.15-rc5 with evdev compiled as module /dev/input looks like:<br>
<br>
[fcomolli@tycho ~]$ ls -l /dev/input/<br>
total 0<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 64 Dec 17 2005 event0<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 65 Dec 17 2005 event1<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Dec 17 2005 mice<br>
<br>
with 2.6.14-1.1768_FC4 there is only the "mice" entry (and this is what pointed my to evdev).<br>
<br>
BTW, there is another minor problem: kernel 2.6.14-1.1768_FC4 boots in verbose mode even with the "quiet" boot option set.<br>
<br>

I I normally use a custom 2.6.15-rc5 kernel, with evdev compiled as
module. That module is loaded _after_ udev has started and this way
everithing works. Your kernel as evdev statically linked.<br>
<br>
I know that to use a 2.6.15-rcx kernel you are supposed to upgrade udev
(mine is udev-058-1.0.FC4.1) but you said that this kernel was intended
to be used with FC4 and not with rawhide, so I assumed that it had to
work with 0.58.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you need more test/details.<div><span class="e" id="q_108391a4c80406e3_1"><br>

To try and get a jump-start on testing 2.6.15, I've prepared<br>packages for FC4 based on the current rawhide kernel.<br><br>These are likely to change almost daily, and there's no<br>guarantee how much longer 2.6.15 is going to be in -rc stage,
<br>so I'm going to hold off pushing these out as an official<br>updates-testing release until a final 2.6.15 has been released.<br>(Should a security errata be needed before then, I'll push out another<br> 2.6.14 based release)
