Package: debian-installer Severity: grave Hello,
I downloaded the netinst daily-built image at [1] because I needed a rescue CD and tried the 'rescuegui' boot target: while it loads without any problem, as soon as I touch the touchpad of my IBM T42p [2], the pointer disappeares. The same happens with the 'installgui' boot target. Checking the logs in the first console doesn't show any error (and the Synaptics TouchPad is correctly recognized [3]). Some points: - this happens only with the touchpad, not with the IBM TrackPad - pressing the touchpad buttons seem to leave the pointer in its place - the same burned image works as expected into qemu (I mean, the pointer doesn't disappear). The severity is grave because we've two problems here: 1) the pointer disappearing 2) the fact that in the country selection window, the country submenu cannot be opened without the mouse. I mean, I chose English as language and then I tried to press return on Europe, but this triggers the "Continue" button pressed action. And this ends in a loop. I think that even in the graphical installer, the user should be able to use the keyboard instead of the mouse ;-) I'm here to test any possible solution :-D Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-rc6 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ [2] this is the model number 2373-GTG [3] from my already installed Debian sid /var/log/kern.log Jun 11 16:10:46 gismo kernel: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.9, id: 0x2c6ab1, caps: 0x884793/0x0 Jun 11 16:10:46 gismo kernel: serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio1/input0 Jun 11 16:10:46 gismo kernel: input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input1
