| |
If i type "gpm-mouse-test /dev/psaux" or even "echo "1" >/dev/psaux" or "cat /dev/psaus" my machine totally freezes on me, cant even telnet to it.
The lockups only occur if i have ps/2 mouse support compiled into the kernel.
I dont ever use a ps/2 mouse, but i do use a ps/2 keyboard.
Even though i dont need to use /dev/psaux some hardware detection programs automatically probe this device to try and detect a mouse, which is a problem.
Does this sound like a problem with the kernel, or should hardware detection programs know they have to be carefull with /dev/psaux ?
I havent tried to reproduce this on any other machines yet. The machine uses an aopen ax59pro motherboard, i tried two different serial mouse and two different ps/2 keyboards. Im using 2.2.15pre15, but ive always had lockups probing mice on this machine
Thanks
