ellianef Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm running mandriva LE 2005 with kernel-multimedia-win4lin-2.6.11-9.mm.6mdk-1-1mdk and suddently thje mouse is not enabled. In dmesg I see "service harddrake removed MOUSE" at boot. I've tried with the control panel hardware config to re-define the mouse but to noavail. When I installed win4lin it worked nice. The hardware is well functionning (dual boot win$) and also if I boot with the basic kernel 2.6.11-6 . I've tried to remove and reinstall the mmedia kernel, but the mouse still doesn't work with it. How could I get the mouse to work with the mmedia kernel ? Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or XF86Config-4 file and find the mouse device section. Try changing the mouse device to /dev/psaux (if it isn't already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try changing the mouse device to /dev/psaux (if it isn't already). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the answer, but this doesn't cure the problem. I suspect there is something wrong at init time. Xfdrake and/or hardrake don't set up the mouse with the mm kernel. Here are the diffs from syslog in both cases: No mouse: (boot 2.6.11-9.mm.6mdk) --------- Aug 3 12:03:21 localhost rc: Lancement de dkms : succeeded Aug 3 12:03:21 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: ### Program is starting ### Aug 3 12:03:22 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel Aug 3 12:03:23 localhost service_harddrake[5134]: created file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw Aug 3 12:03:23 localhost harddrake: succeeded ********************************************************** Mouse working ( boot 2.6.11-6mdk): -------------- Aug 3 12:17:38 localhost rc: Lancement de dkms : succeeded Aug 3 12:17:39 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: ### Program is starting ### Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: added MOUSE: |ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: running: /sbin/modprobe usbhid Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: modified file /etc/sysconfig/mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: symlinked file input/mice to /dev/mouse Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/xinit.d/auxmouse_buttons Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/xinit.d/xpad Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: moved file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: moved file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: removed files/directories /etc/X11/XF86Config Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: symlinked file xorg.conf to /etc/X11/XF86Config Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: created file /etc/X11/xorg.conf Aug 3 12:17:46 localhost cups: Démarrage de cupsd succeeded Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost service_harddrake[5163]: created file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw Aug 3 12:17:40 localhost harddrake: succeeded The file /etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/kernel contains in both cases: KERNEL=2.6 The file "/etc/sysconfig/harddrake2/previous_hw" is very different: Mouse not working: pst01234pci_device 3pci_function SERIAL_USB ion 0XMaxendor snd-intel8x0iption 0nction DISPLAY_VGA 2356:65535:65535 Driver (IPv4-over-1394 as per RFC 2734) Mouse working: pst01234driverdriverdrivermedia_typeÛ$vendor PCIus& er34) So there is a big problem about hardware detection at kernel load/init time. How could I investigate further ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n7cee Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Make sure that win4lin installed the same version kernel you were using before win4lin. I had a problem with one machine out of three ending up with an earlier win4lin patched kernel, and that broke the usb subsystem at boot. When I used rpmdrake to install the correct kernel, the problem went away. I still don't know why win4lin installed an earlier kernel on that one machine.

scarecrow Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Why don't you disable harddrake? It really does nothing particularly useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
