I have Suse 6.1. I wanted to compile the kernel to add PPP support. I added that and a few other things, which I may not need, like parellel port support. This is kernel 2.2.5, I haven't touched the source or upgraded anything.
Anyway, now, in X Windows, my mouse won't work. Any ideas as to what in the kernel would cause this? I have a serial MS mouse, which works fine with the kernel as shipped with 6.1.
There's a bug in the kernel wrt modules: If you add the serial support to the kernel, it will additionally try to load as a module. The bad thing: It "succeeds", rendering your serial ports unusable. Solution: Use the serial driver as module or delete /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/serial.o so that it cannot longer be loaded as module.
I'm kind of new, so let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!
