--- Comment #21 from darren winter 2007-09-25 08:21:57 MST ---
i ended up with a black screen and the X mouse pointer on screen, and i got to
see the bottom .25 inch of the kde splash screen. that "nodeadkeys" problem
(bug 327017) prevented me from using ctrl+alt+backspace to kill x or to switch
over to tty1 to get to text mode to manually fix it.
anyway, i've been thinking about this a lot this morning. i don't need to see
if sax2 is working correctly or not, i know that it is writing an xorg.conf
file that should work. my problem is specific to the mouse and, for sake of
time (10.3 final is only 9 days from now), i would like to focus on manually
adjusting xorg.conf instead of using sax2 to generate new config files each
time.
every time i attach my xorg.conf files i am doing it the way you have been
asking (using sax2), and it has been defaulting to fbdev which you have pointed
out is slower. i never use sax2's defaults, and i have never used fbdev - so
that is not what is causing my problem. in my opinion this mouse lag (in my
case) is not related fbdev (since i never use it) and it probably isn't "nv"
although i can easily switch to that to test it if needed (tonight), and i know
it isn't "nvidia" which is all i ever use.
what i am trying to say (and debug) is that when i use the "evdev" mouse driver
with "nvidia" (and possibly "nv"), the mouse is almost impossible to move
during heavy load... i litteraly can barely move it in a 1" or 2" radius, at
the very mose. when i switch the mouse driver from "evdev" to "mouse", there
is still some mouse lag during heavy load, but it is at least sufferable, i can
still do things and i can freely move the mouse all over the screen even though
it is a little jerky.
so, everything aside from sax2, here is what i have been playing with...
this is what i am using currently in 10.3 rc1, and it seems "ok":
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
this is what i was using in 10.3 alphas 1-7 and betas 1-3 and would probably
work the same in rc1:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
this is what was setup after a fresh installation of rc1 and it is laggy as
hell during heavy system load:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Buttons" "20"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "on"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
