Hi,
I've installed Severn on an Athlon XP and then the
kernel-2.6.0-0.test2.1.28.athlon.rpm with "rpm -i". Reboot, choose the
2.6 kernel, and when trying to enter level 5, there was a problem with
XFConfig.
Apparently, the mouse, which was automatically configured during
installation, is not found by the system when booting with 2.6 kernel.
When the system tries to configure Xfree from a fresh setup, it fails
with same arguments.
I have tested it with 3 combinations:
(1) A ps/2 mouse plugged alone.
(2) A USB wacom volito plugged alone.
(3) Both plugged.
try adding this to /etc/modprobe.conf
alias char-major-10-1 mousedev
worked for me (I have a ps2 scroll mouse)
All the combinations work will the 2.4 kernel, which is
2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl (it detects the AMD cpu and installs the
athlon version of the kernel, which didn't happen with redhat 9).
I append the XFree86.0.log file,
P.D.: Btw, what does the "nptl" tag of the kernel means?
