First, the Gaaaah! Updated my Red Hat 9 system to Fedora Core 2 a couple nights ago. It works, buuuuuuut…..
…it won’t start X if I boot from the newest Fedora kernel. It says it can’t locate the mouse–even when I use a generic PS/2 mouse, a USB mouse, and a serial mouse. The mouse is configured right (I’ve run the configuration several times), and the mouse works fine in console mode. It also works fine when I boot using the earlier kernel from the RedHat 9 install. The X error log complains it can’t open /dev/psaux, even though the correct file is in /dev. Anyone know what gives?
And the geeky fun stuff: An archived screen capture of Google’s main search engine page, circa 1960.
Idiot Question
Is it possible that the new kernal somehow doesn’t have sufficient rights to /dev/psaux?
I dunno. Just a thought.
Re: Idiot Question
Interesting idea, but I booted the 2.6 kernel and checked the permissions were correct on /dev/psaux, which they were.
So I just removed references to /dev/psaux from the X configuration file, and damn, it worked. Beats me….
