Robin,
	I noticed that I just wanna get out of work pretty desperately right
now. :) I noticed that the kernel did load the nvidia module, so you must
emerged it. Just disregard my last msg.

Hi all,

I have tried to get this to work

First I tried switching on nearly all the new stuff, except the stuff I
obviously was never going to use.

X refused to start, all I got was a blank screen.

Then I tried using my 2.4.19 config with preempt and the low latency
scheduling.

Now my USB mouse refuses to work and I have 'funny' messages in my
startup.

I have attached the output of dmesg.

Can anyone help??

Many Thanks,

Robin

I had a similar mouse problem and realized I was missing one important
kernel setting:

Under USB make sure you have:

"HID Input Layer Support" enabled

Of course, USB must be enabled plus

"Input Core Support" and "Mouse" under there.

Hope this helps (and you haven't done what I keep doing which is
forgetting to mount /boot before I copy the new kernel over
there...grin...)

Sean

Robin,
	One thing I think I spotted. Your X server problems... You are using
the Nvidia provided drivers, aren't you? When you upgrade your kernel, don't
forget to re-emerge the nvidia-kernel package. I am not sure about your usb
mouse however.

Did you enable full hid support?

Unrelated: I have the same mobo, have you considered using the "southbrigde

Hi Gontran,

I'm afraid I did recompile the nvidia-drivers.

This was a case of having a constant blank screen, not the 'flash,
flash, flash, flash, command line prompt' that you usually get.

full hid support was in.  As I say, it was basically the same config
file I used for my current (working) kernel.

What's the 'southbridge workaround'?

Many Thanks, 

Robin

Did you enable grsecurity?  That happened to me so I disabled it.
