by itself.. HELP :(

Hey everyone

I set the Mice P/S Input Device Driver as a module in the kernel and i added

Code:
options psmouse proto=imps


to the end of the /etc/modprobe.conf file. I then rebooted and after Gentoo came back up it was still giving me that problem :( Any ideas on how to fix this situation it is extremely annoying!

I don't recall ever needing to do that.

Why not just enable PS/2 mouse and Event interface support in the kernel
Code:
<*>   PS/2 mouse
<*>   Event interface

Make sure in /etc/make.conf you have
Code:
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"

And the hald rc service started, check with rc-status
That should normally be sufficient.

If you want a console mouse, then you may need to tweak /etc/conf.d/gpm a little, but generally the default is fine for PS/2 mice.

Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

Take these out of your xorg.conf and restart X
Code:
   InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
   InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse0"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option       "Protocol" "auto"
   Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
   Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection


Even give X a try without an xorg.conf file.

And post the output of rc-status
and your emerge --info please.
