hi jeff, you might be interested in this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=247126 basically what was happening was gpm/X was trying to access the mouse device before it was loaded, which kicked off hotplug's loading of the psmouse module, but not before it returned ENODEV to the calling program. restarting X/gpm is one fix, or otherwise loading all your mouse input modules before they start. i haven't had this problem in a while, but it's possible that this is due to me using things out of sid or using something that gets installed by default. sean On Wed, Jan 26, 2005 at 10:47:34AM -0500, Jeff Abrahamson wrote: > I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.8 from 2.4.27.
