temp_foreverhm, I don't have the x370 board but I do have other asrock with ps/2 ports and could test on them.  last time I used it, it was working fine but it's been a few years now, probably beowulf or chimaera05:17
temp_foreverok, devuan-live daedalus starts up fine (kernel 6.1.0-10-amd64) on asrock x570 extreme4 with ps/2 mouse plugged in.  mouse works fine there.05:42
temp_foreversame hardware boots fine with excalibur, 6.12.something kernel - but no wm or xorg installed there so couldn't tell whether the mouse actually worked in it05:58
temp_foreverhave an older z77 extreme6 i could test it on tomorrow05:59
gnarfacetemp_forever: you should be able to enable a console mouse by installing gpm06:01
gnarfacein theory anyway. i haven't tested that for a long time.06:02
gnarfacefreaxeh: maybe bios related, do you have the latest bios for that?06:03
freaxehgnarface: yes i have the latest bios installed08:22
vjalmrHow successful have people here been in migrating from Debian 12 to Devuan 5?23:18
fsmithredvjalmr, did you see the migration guides?23:20
vjalmrI did23:24
vjalmrI am asking if people have had issues23:24
fsmithredsome people have had issue. It depends on what's installed. Are you in the middle of doing it or just planning it?23:27
fsmithredmake sure you have a backup of the system or at least of everything you don't want to lose, just in case.23:31
fsmithredmost of the time it works as expected.23:31
vjalmrThank you, fsmithred23:32
vjalmrI am seriously considering it.23:32
fsmithredif you're a long time debian user (from pre-jessie) it'll feel like you've come home.23:33
vjalmrI'm not. I just recently started using Debian last year - It's great, but I come from systems not using systemd, so I was interested when seeing this23:34
