I came to a machine to do a fresh 0501-SNAP install.
Everything went smooth -despite that the domainname
is not extracted into the hostname= in /etc/sysconfig.
When it came to X installation failed again miserably
since XFree86 cannot cope obviously with a certain
brand of W32p PCI cards. Black screen, power cycling req'd.
I resorted to Xaccel 1.3 which I really can heartily
recommend. This works fine despite that
no mouse was found.
I asked the guy who assembled the machine and he told me
it was a PS/2 mouse. Bullet shaped LOGITECH mouse
with a cable leading into a backplane sheet with plug.
I assume it leads to a direct Motherboard connection.
GENERIC kernel wasn't built for PS/2 mouse so I built
a new one.
Unfortunately the mouse still doesn't get probed.
I'm lost at the moment without further help.
