Guest york Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 In knoppix, XF86Config-4 file has three sections of input device; Identifier "Serial Mouse", Identifier "PS/2 Mouse", and Identifier "USB Mouse" with different options. I have put all in my mandrake and none works thanks YK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) ok... in knoppix, copy the: Identifier "PS/2 Mouse" section (all the other parts, protocol etc.) then scroll down to the bottom of your XF86Config-4 file and there will be a section regarding which things to load. Change the one that has the name of the original mouse section to "PS/2 Mouse" instead of what's there. Edited June 4, 2004 by tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondo Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hello Tyme, " then scroll down to the bottom of your XF86Config-4 file and there will be a section regarding which things to load. " Thanks tyme it worked. Now I can use the mouse to click on the icons. However,three icons; floppy, Hard Disk, Trash and Welcome appear on top of the screen but cannot see the lower bar where web browser, terminal program, and etc are are located at the same time I have to move the cursor up and down on the screen in order to see either the top or bottom icons. I have tried to adjust my screen but no success. Thanks JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somedude Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 What you're describing is called a virtual screen. Your resolution is set to more than what the monitor is set to. Does anything change when you hit Ctrl Alt and the + or - keys on the numeric pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondo Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hello somedude, Thanks for your quick reply. "Does anything change when you hit Ctrl Alt and the + or - keys on the numeric pad? " Yes it shrinks and expands with bigger and smaller icons and test. " Your resolution is set to more than what the monitor is set to " How do I solve this problem?

Kieth Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Go into your Mandrake Control Center (System - Configuration - Configure you computer). Enter your password. Choose Hardware. Choose Screen resolution. Choose another resolution and press OK. Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
