I downloaded the source for 2.4.22 and compiled it and installed using dpkg: 461 cd kernel-source-2.4.22 462 cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 ./.config 463 make menuconfig 464 make menuconfig 465 make-kpkg clean 466 make-kpkg --append_to_version -nvidia kernel_image modules_image 467 cd .. 468 dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
And I am not able to make the mouse move, seems like the new kernel doesn't see the mouse. This new kernel was compiled because I wanted to use the new nvidia driver. I followed the steps given here:
http://www.leonscape.co.uk/linux/how2-nvg4.html
I might have missed something in the menuconfig options (though I don't see what, since I copied older config to used as the new one) or in the editing of XF86config file. So I am thinking of compiling it again. But if I were to reinstall a new version of the same kernel, dpkg would complain about the already existing /lib/modules/kernel-<version-number>. To avoid this, I am thinking of removing the older kernel. But "dpkg -L" doesn't see the kernel I installed yesterday:
/usr/src# dpkg -L kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Package `kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia_10.00.custom_i386.deb' is not installed.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
So perhaps removing that package with "dkpg -p kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia_10.00.Custom_i386.deb" before recompiling it would work. Am I on the right track?
