[coLinux-users] Unresponsive keyboard/mouse on Vista

[Mark R. <ma...@gm...>]

I've tried getting coLinux running (tried latest release, stable, and
dev. snapshot) on my Vista laptop, but it consistently freezes all
input devices (keyboard and mouse don't work). Even after I'm unable
to move my mouse or type on my keyboard, I can see the console
messages (both on NT and FLTK) continue until it reaches the login. At
this point, I'm unable to type 'root' or navigate my mouse for any
other operation. It appears the machine is still alive since I'm able
to use my "non standard" function keys to do things like turn on the
keyboard light or access Lenovo's "ThinkVantage" menu options.

Thinking this might be related to the console specifically, I even
tried running as a service, but it behaves the same way. Seems like
starting coLinux on Vista hijacks my input devices. The same
configuration works fine under XP. Any ideas, tips, suggestions?

Thanks.
