No clues. No errors.

This works, trackpad is fine:
Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-rawhide-20150110.iso


But the boot.iso from here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_22_Rawhide_20150110_Installation

does not work.

Isn't net install using mesa? They both have to be using the same
trackpad driver whatever it is. So there's something not in common
between the two that's responsible for the trackpad (in part) that's
not doing things right.

I can't get to tty2 with control-alt-f2 in a vbox VM either.
