This is probably not completely true. The issue was that both most touchpads and usb mice would not work (only AT mice would work). I recently added the usbmouse kernel module for the installer and this solved the problems for usb mice. I expect this may also solve the problem for touchpads as a lot of those are emulated internally as usb devices, but we have not yet received feedback on this. > A reasonable configuration for directfbrc seems to be > no-hardware > disable-module=linux_input Is disabling linux-input really a reasonable workaround? We tried this for i386 for a while, but after the switch to 2.8 GTK libs, this broke mouse support in vmware. Cheers, Frans Pop
