I upgraded my kernel this morning to 2.6 from 2.4 and can't get into X because it won't find the mouse.
This is a laptop with a built in pointing device, no external mouse.
then later:
This didn't work.
And I'm not at FC2 just yet but hope to be by tonite.
Well, it's probably a bit late by now, but check /etc/X11/XF86.conf for Section "InputDevice" where it says Identifier "Mouse", and change the Device to /dev/input/mice .
This then probably won't work with 2.4: you might want a bit of scripting to choose the "right" XF86.conf at boot depending on the kernel version.

cool. let me try this!
still working on upgrading FC1 to FC2, I am about to give freaking up. (see other post).
thanks!
