No mouse in Porteus 5.01
No mouse in Porteus 5.01
I don't know. This workaround is not the solution because mouse and keyboard are not responsive. It's impossible to use a PC in this way... I will investigate more.

No mouse in Porteus 5.01
kalo86, not bad if you update to the latest kernel 64bit-ALL-kernel6.8-rc7.tar (I tested it - works fine)
Anyway add bluetooth cheatcode to your /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg
In the /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file scroll down to the LABEL area and to the APPEND lines add the cheatcode.
For LABEL GRAPHICAL
For LABEL fresh
If you plan on using any of the other menu options add the cheatcode to their APPEND lines also.
Reboot Porteus and test it.
Code: Select all
# All operations must be done as root user!
# replace 000-kernel.xzm
# remove crippled_sources.xzm
# optionally add 06-crippled_sources-NNN-XXbit.xzm
/path-to/porteus/base
# replace vmlinuz
/path-to/boot/syslinux
# reboot Porteus
In the /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file scroll down to the LABEL area and to the APPEND lines add the cheatcode.
For LABEL GRAPHICAL
Code: Select all
APPEND changes=/porteus bluetooth
Code: Select all
APPEND nomagic base_only norootcopy bluethooth
Reboot Porteus and test it.

@Blaze,
Thanks for the updated kernel but it did not resolve the issue.
Again, no mouse pointer....
I also used the "bluetooth" cheatcode in configuration at boot, basically no changes.

According to this source --> https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic. ... 3#AMD-7900:
"If you have an AMD RX 7900 XTX or an AMD RX 7900 XT, you must use at least a 6.0 version kernel, a Mesa version 22.2 or newer, and install the necessary firmware".
Can you please confirm that the Mesa version is 22.2 or newer?
Thanks,

Ok, maybe I found the root cause...
By running the command glxinfo -B I see that the Mesa version is 21.3.5.
Now it's clear why the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is not fully running on Porteus.
Is there a way to easily update the Mesa to the last version?

hi try porteux,you have two branch slackware 15 and slackware current and a lot of desktop environments if you use the current download also the devel package i think you like it
go.php?https://github.com/porteux/porte ... ses/latest
if you choose to change you don't have to use the installer but change all the files inside the key and in boot directory left the ldlinux.sys when you are ready reboot

I was not aware of Porteusx! Where can I get more info about this new distro?
So, the problem was caused by Mesa driver....!
