A kernel bootparam ? | In old X, i used 'Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"'. >From Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: psmouse.proto= [HW,MOUSE] Highest PS2 mouse protocol extension to probe for (bare|imps|exps). so for builtin mouse driver (not a loadable module), use: psmouse.proto=bare|imps|exps However, it read/sounds like the protocol is probed/detected. Moreover, it also sounds like MouseManPlusPS/2 isn't listed/supported. The known protocols according to psmouse-base.c are: static char *psmouse_protocols[] = { "None", "PS/2", "PS2++", "PS2T++", "GenPS/2", "ImPS/2", "ImExPS/2", "SynPS/2"}; I guess that you can test: psmouse.proto=bare or each listed option to see what helps. -- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
