Hello,

The compilation went fine, but there are some problems I can't solve :-(

I had to disable both drm (dri) and acpi to get rid from warning messages but 
still X doesn't start with the following message in it's log file:

xf86OpenSerial cannot open device /dev/psaux no such device

This wasn't a problem before. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Remon

P.S. 
Please CC me, I'm not on the list

/dev/psaux is deprecated.  Use /dev/input/mice.  On Debian, you can do
this with `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86'.  Otherwise, use your
distro's X configurator, or edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and replace
/dev/psaux with /dev/input/mice.

Sorry for being incomplete, but XFree86 cannot find both of them (/dev/psaux 
and /dev/input/mice) when compiled as module
I compiled it in the kernel and now detection is fine.

But using my PS2 mouse is still problematic. It just goes after some time wild 
and jumps back and forth.

Dmesg reports:
psmouse.c mouse out of sync, throwing away 1 (or 2 / 3) bytes

When I disable the IRQ Thread for the mouse it works normal again. Any ideas 
what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Remon

I compiled mouse support statically instead of a module and it worked. But I 
will try this also.

However, I still have problems, especially with the mouse. I used my computer 
for a while and suddenly the mouse got wild so to say.
It jumped back and forth, starting applications, kinda funny to see actually.

I looked at dmesg, and it gave messages like:
Lost sync of mouse, throwing away 1 (and also 2 / 3) bytes.
I couldn't find the IRQ thread which is used by the mouse, but after disabling 
all of them it worked as normal, making IRQ threaded again made the mouse go 
north/south/west/east again.

I was only getting xruns, using 0.3 ms latency with my sound application when 
using the mouse, otherwise ALSA remained silent (not long tested due mouse 
problems)

Thanks,


Remon

Please do not use a 'noreply' address to post to LKML.  It's rude.

Is this in fact a PS/2 mouse, or USB?

Hello,

I tried to compile this one, but got an error on:

drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c : unknown field `generic_disable_irq' 
specified in initializer

I disabled hotplug in the config file and the compilation succeeded without 
problems ;-) (I don't need hotplug, but maybe others do)

Thanks for all the work done, I'm gonna test it now :-)
