Hi,
I've just installed FC2 - test3.

And, which was a HUGE suprise (or shock) - precompiled kernel does not include ps/2 mouse support!!!
Therefore, I recompiled kernel (the one included in distribution), added mouse support and some other things.

Unfortunately, mouse still not working! All devices are well plugged, well configured. The command:
cat < /dev/psaux
doesn't dump any garbage, that should be seen, despite of the fact, the devices are figured on device list.

Before, I used Slackware 9.1 and fedora 1. Mouse worked properly, BUT!!
I noticed, that these problems are when using kernel 2.6.3 or higher, 2.6.2 and lower work properly. I dont want to downgrade kernel version, because I use some features of latest version (like irda USB).

Did you ever have such problems?


P.S. I use ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard, standard PS.2 mouse.

I run FC1, and to change my mouse all I do is run Main Menu > System Settings > Mouse. There are a bunch of generic PS/2 mouse types to choose from. I'm unsure if that will work with a custom 2.6 kernel and test3.

I am not soo newbie to not to try it. I also run 'setup' from a command line console, it didn't change anything.

gpm starts automaticaly during boot and makes no error.

I do not have mouse BOTH in console and X-Window.

BTW: if I set mouse to normal ps/2 (no wheel mouse or sth), I get "memory segmentation fault"...

OK, problem solved.

PSAUX and PS2 mouse kernel driver don't like each other - I removed PSAUX mouse and now it works perfect.
