Bugzilla – Bug 145920
Can not start X in the installation
Last modified: 2006-01-31 08:38:19 UTC
There are two device like mouse in my computer , one is PS/2 mouse and the other is hand writing pad (USB). When I install SuSE10.1beta1 in my computer , both the two device have been pluged in my computer.The SuSE10.1beta1 installation can not start X, When changed screen using CTRL+ATL+F8, I could see some error information like that: Parse error on line 57 of section InputDevice in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Section " is not a valid keyword in this section. and so on. I checked the xorg.conf, found the two same line like: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" When I remove the hand writing pad , the installation will start X normally. I think that maybe a bug.
Created attachment 65283 [details] xorg.conf of error installation
Created attachment 65286 [details] this file is /proc/bus/usb/devices in the installation
I tried to reproduce with two mice connected one is a PS/2 the other a USB mouse both are working and the installation starts (Beta1) Hmm, could you provide the output of the command xmset -c You can call this if you switch to a text console Ctrl-Alt-F2 straight after YaST has been started Thanks
I can reproduce that. I use the "xmset -c" command in the CTRL-ALT-F2 , got the followed information: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection
ok, something is wrong here. Could you send the information from hwinfo --mouse as well. Thanks
I got some messages followed by hwinfo --mouse 15: USB 00.0: 10503 USB Mouse [Created at usb.122] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_b57_8001_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input Unique ID: cLrx.jCmtwnc19XF Parent ID: k4bc.3PraMNnpCG1 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0 SysFS BusID: 1-2:1.0 Hardware Class: mouse Model: "Han Wang Technoloy Center JB8 USB Tablet" Hotplug: USB Vendor: usb 0x0b57 "Han Wang Technoloy Center" Device: usb 0x8001 "JB8 USB Tablet" Revision: "0.11" Compatible to: int 0x0200 0x0001 "Generic USB Mouse" Driver: "usbhid" Device File: /dev/input/event3 Device Number: char 13:67 Speed: 1.5 Mbps Module Alias: "usb:v0B57p8001d0011dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc01ip02" Driver Info #0: XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #14 (Hub) 18: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse [Created at input.157] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_Aux_Port_logicaldev_input Unique ID: AH6Q.hI1e_vHaTSC Hardware Class: mouse Model: "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" Vendor: int 0x0210 Device: int 0x0013 "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" Device File: /dev/input/mice (/dev/input/mouse0) Device Files: /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/input/event1 Device Number: char 13:63 (char 13:32) Driver Info #0: Buttons: 3 Wheels: 1 XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
Thanks now I know what is going wrong. for Tablet devices there is code to skip the device from being enabled while installing. Within that code there was a bug creating an incomplete InputDevice section I fixed that.
