devries Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Does the external mouse not work or the touchpad? If it's the external mouse search the board. There has been a topic about this a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 which model do you have? For the ultranav, you may want to try the synaptics driver. An advantage for me was that I could get the middle button work. As for the external mouse, the X configuration may need some tweaking, but it's better to do this after you get the touchpad working properly.

Guest pasweb71 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi, May be same pb as me. During install my mouse was recognize, but with first reboot after install : frozen. I open a session with keyboard. The pb was that my Logitech Wheel Mouse wasn't selected in system parameter (default PS/2 mouse). After this modification, and a reboot, that's ok.

clair Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Sometimes it helps to try to boot without any peripherals (printer, etc) hooked up. USB things can cause issues sometimes too. Might even try without a mouse since you should be able to use the touchpad on the laptop. I had some initial boot problems with my joystick plugged in to USB port. Once I booted I installed the joystick and rebooted and everything worked. This is one of the replies in another post. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) Sometimes (not always) you can move the cursor w/o mouse by this trick: CTRL-SHIFT-NUMLOCK then use keypad on keyboard as follows: 8 = UP 6 = RIGHT 4= LEFT 2 = DOWN + = Dbl Click 5 = Left Click -0 = drag n drop This is from memory, but should be close. Try some other keys to see what works. On laptop, you might need to use embedded functions and use FN key to activate the "keypad" not sure how it will work due to different mapping. If possible, might even want to try external keyboard? Sometimes you can use this trick to navigate when mouse is not working. It will allow you to use GUI to modify the mouse setups from within MCC. Good luck! EDIT: Found a link to the old instructions.
