2.4.20-rc3 keyboard & mouse lost in X
I've mentioned it before many times, (since 2.4.20-pre8) so I'll just mention - it still happens.
Going to X mouse and keyboard stop responding.
Not a good thing, since most users like using X.

Are you sure it isn't an XF86Config problem? Does 2.4.19 work?

Hi,
I have the same problem, but I think my hole PC crashed, I can't ping or connect via ssh.
I don't get any errors.

2.4.19 works - every 2.4.x works up to 2.4.20pre8. pre8 with ac3 works (what I'm using now). If you look back you'll see I've reported this for many versions (most of 2.5.4x has the same problem).
The ONLY difference between working and not working is the kernel version.

Try disabling the local APIC, if it is enabled.

2.4.x and 2.5.x have very different input layers, so it is suprising that the same problem is occuring with both trees.

This caused the keyboard to work in X. Mouse still not responsive. I do get an error message in syslog after starting X now:
Nov 24 17:59:12 Master kernel: keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?(00)
but the keyboard works.

Very surprising. I can't test 2.5.49, though, as it won't boot from my reiserfs v3.6 HD.

You didn't CC me in on this reply - although I am subscribed to LKML, like most subscribers, I don't read every single message on the list, and could easily have missed your reply - please CC relevant people, unless they ask you not to. This may be why you didn't get replies before :-).

The people I suggest you contact are:
Alan Cox - he will know why disabling the APIC fixed the keyboard Vojtech Pavlik - he knows all about the input layer code
