| |
Hi, I just finished with compiling a Linux system from source using gcc 3.2, glibc 2.5, kernel 2.4.19, binutils 2.13 and bash 2.05a running on an Athlon TB 1000 MHz, Asus A7V mainboard (VIA KT133 chipset), 384 MByte RAM. Now I noticed that when I use GPM and/or X and I press Numlock, then the mouse (PS/2 made by Logitech, 3 buttons, 3rd button is a wheel) stops working (the cursor disappears). When I kill GPM or X and start it again (PS/2 protocol), the keyboard stops working too. The log shows kernel messages saying 'unrecognized scancode (70), ignoring' or sometimes 'timeout - no AT keyboard connected?'. When I use the imps2 protocol, keyboard and mouse stop working as soon as I start GPM for the first time, but now the keyboard produces wierd characters (e.g. + signs) on screen. This affects X without GPM and X with GPM in repeater mode, too. I already tried kernel 2.4.18, disabling APM, changing device permissions, using other PS/2 mice and using another gpm binary from a system where it works. I checked the archives of this list and the gpm and X mailing list archives, and although there seemed to be similar problems in the past, I found no fix for my problem. I also asked on the gpm mailing list and on comp.os.linux.hardware, but so far no one can help me... When I boot from a KNOPPIX cd (AFAIK only difference to my system: gcc) everything works, I can use both GPM and X without any problems. The Linux I had before on this PC worked ok, too, so the hardware is alright... I also tried booting 2.4.13, but it won't boot, oopsing because of a null pointer reference and trying to kill init...
Any suggestions? Thank you, Chris
