Hello, after several successful upgrades to RC5 I am having some problems with keyboard and mouse on another machine. On boot everything works fine, both deviced get detected properly:
input: ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
When I try to start X (Nvidia board) the machine seems to lock up. However it just seems to lose control over keyboard and mouse.
The X server says: (EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
Of course the device that's configured in xorg.conf doesn't exist: Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Isn't udev supposed to take care for that? Or do I really have to supply the strange device names from above in the X config? Additionally mouse and keyboard stopped working in the console, too.
thanks for your help Oliver
I believe that you need to change "/dev/psaux" to "/dev/input/mice"
I don't know why udev, or some other upgrade package, failed to take care of this. Its bitten lots of people.
