Ok, I'm familiar with the ServerVTs=-7 line that had to be added to the previous /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc but I beleive MDE fixed this perviously. I've installed the Multimedia Kernel from the MDE repository and once again, there's no mouse movement when using this kernel. I went back to my old kernel and it works ok. Just curious if this is an easy fix that I'm overlooking? I've already installed the source for the kernel
[moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]
Full Version: No mouse (again) with MDE downloaded Kernel MM
what kind of a mouse is this? i assume it's some sort of USB. might be a bug in the kernel, check the output of dmesg for errors relating to USB or mouse....

Is there any particular reason you're using this kernel over the standard Mandriva ones? I tend to stick with the standard ones, they work well enough. I'd only attempt a newer kernel if I was having hardware problems or something wasn't working.
If all your hardware is working, I'd stick with the Mandriva kernels.

I advise you to use normal kernel instead the multimedia.
