javaguy Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I upgraded my kernel, and now whenever I reboot my mouse is dead. After the reboot I use the console to su to root, edit the XF86Config and sometimes see that a line Options "Buttons" "5" that was there before is missing. I put that back in, do a killall kdeinit, log into the gui and everything is fine...until my next reboot. Anybody know what's causing this> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but make sure you edit xorg.conf rather than XF86Config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 No insult taken, but when I look at my /etc/X11 directory, xorg.conf is just a link to the XF86Config. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmcse Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 change mouse settings to : see the section Section "InputDevice" try : Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 It already says that. I can get the mouse to work, it's just that I have to re-edit the config file every time I reboot, and--dare I admit it--I sometimes reboot to, um, an Other Operating System to play a game that doesn't run well under Linux. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Is there any way I can find out what process is changing the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
