Journal Journal: linux 2.4.18 kernel notes

keyboard_uses_linux_keycodes=0 is a good one. After about a week of searching, I finally found why my 2.4.18 kernel was getting all goofy. I feel foolish, but I should anyway using 2.4.18 when I could at least use 2.4.24 or 2.6.x. The funny thing is while I was searching for a way to make my adb 1-button mouse act like a 3 button in Xfree86, I came across messages on the problem.
