Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
There's a nasty bug affecting computers with a SiS chipset : PS/2 mouse does not work.
The mouse seems to be properly detected at startup, but when moving it nothing happens under the X server. Thus, when using the following commands :
sudo cat /dev/input/mice
sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0
sudo cat /dev/psaux
And so on for every element of /dev/input and moving the mouse, nothing appears to the screen.
The mouse works perfectly when using a live CD of a previous version of Ubuntu.
Thus, plugging in an USB mouse solves the problem. The USB mouse is detected as /dev/input/mice and functions properly.
My kernel version is :
Linux pcceleron 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
