Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: Really strange problem with the 2.6.x kernels |
Hi,
/dev/psaux doesn't seem to work on 2.6 kernels. I had the same problem. I changed all references to /dev/psaux to /dev/input/mice in my XF86Config file, and all was well. I've also seen people suggest symlinking /dev/psaux to point to /dev/input/mice. I'm not sure which is the better solution - they end up at the same place, it seems, although I'm sure we could have deep philosophical arguments about the correct way to do it.

Hi,
Up to last night, I was happily running a version of the 2.6.2 kernel
I'd compiled myself. It worked well.
I attempted to run the 2.6.3-109 kernel. X wouldn't fire up as /dev/
psaux couldn't be found. Damn, says I, and tried to go back to the 2.6.2
kernel. For some reason, the keyboard locked immediately after selecting
the 2.6.2 kernel from grub. X started fine, but with no mouse or
keyboard.
Reset and moved back to the 2.4.24 kernels and all is well again.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
