| |
I have a PCI machine with a Token Ring Card and PS/2 mouse. If I hit a mouse button when the driver is not loaded (I want to use kerneld) then the keyboard locks up. I am unable to telnet to it (looks crazy).
But if I do:
(sleep 60; modprobe psaux) &
and then hit the mouse the keyboard locks up but later will return to normal. So Linux is not locked only the keyboard.
If I use the mouse under DOS and reboot with loadlin then Linux locks up but I can telnet and load the driver. This put the things back to normal. (Still crazier).
I have noticed if I load and unload the driver then the mouse will not lock the keyboard. So if you want to use kerneld, a solution could be to put in the startup files:
modprobe psaux modprobe -r psaux
