Hi, on plain 2.4.0 vanilla any mouse access kills the keyboard. Only way to restore functionality is to kill gpm. gpm writes 'protocol error' to syslog. I have access to this machine on monday, so I can post details then. Changing the IRQ is totally unrelated, machine works in 2.2.x with the same config. regards, Igmar - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
