Last night I upgraded from 2.1 to 4.0 and noticed the following problems:
1. I can no longer start xwindows. I get a signal 111, mouse not found.
Related note, on boot, I now see the message gpm /dev/mouse device not
found. When I look in the /dev directory I find /dev/mouse as a link to
/dev/inportbm. (as it was and as it should be?) What has happened here?
2. During the upgrade, a message appeared on the screen about not being able
do to somethig with my news files. For me, that's OK since I had no news
files, (probably the source of the message) but the message stayed on the
screen throughout the rest of the install (except where the install program
updated the screen). This is cosmetic, but annoying.
3. Upgrades of the following packages failed:
faq
how-to
how-to-dvi
how-to-html
how-to-sgml
iBCS
indexhtml
ldp (lpd?)
zip
I am manually installing/upgrading them with the --force option of rpm, but
when I run rpm from the command line, it says that the installed version of
these are newer than those on the CD. Hmmm.
Thanks for any help on the mouse problem.
