The system was alredy running and I just plugged it in. At first, it seemed to work, even the wheel of the external mouse. But then I just touched the touchpad and immediately got a sync lost (The timegap is due to the fact, that I had to remember the keyboard shortcut to open up the start-menue): Mar 30 16:12:24 Linux-Host kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 Mar 30 16:12:24 Linux-Host kernel: psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request Mar 30 16:12:25 Linux-Host kernel: input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input3 Mar 30 16:18:51 Linux-Host kdm: :1[4140]: IO Error in XOpenDisplay Mar 30 16:18:51 Linux-Host kdm[3191]: X server for display :1 terminated unexpectedly Mar 30 16:18:51 Linux-Host kdm[3191]: Display :1 cannot be opened Mar 30 16:18:51 Linux-Host kdm[3191]: Unable to fire up local display :1; disabling.

But worse: I unplugged the external mouse and could not click (on the extra buttons) nor tap nor scroll. Only the pointer was moving around. By keyboard I tried switching the user, but only the screen flickered. On trying to reboot, it just hung up. This was the first time my Linux crashed since installation in January ... Instead of intermixing the mice, would there be a way to disable the touchpad on connection of the external mouse and reenable it, once the external mouse is gone? Without the i8042.nomux=1 I was able to intermix both mice. And what made me especially fond was, that I did not have to reboot to use the external wheel. In WinXP I had only scrolling, if the mouse was connected at boot. I could disconnect and reconnect it later, but to activate scrolling, I had to attach it at boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
