mousematt Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I have been running 9.0 under KDE 3.0.3 with no problems since September. I booted my PC today and the mouse has frozen smack bang in the middle of the screen. It is a PS2 Wheel Mouse and has worked perfectly until today. I have swapped it over to the serial port, changed it to non-wheel mouse, even reloaded Mandrake from scracth - none of it works... I really need to sort this out or I'll back on Windows by Friday Help me please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Have you tried a different mouse? the mouse might be the problem. Once things are set up on linux, they seldom go wrong. And what do you mean by "reloaded mandrake from scratch" rebooted or re-installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousematt Posted February 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I have swapped the mice over a couple of times - still no joy... I just reloaded Mandrake and URPMIed every kind of update still no joy - it looks like it might be interference from some other IR peripherals... Will keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Have you tried using a USB mouse? And have you tried using your old mouse on a different PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Just to check, you are using mousedrake to configure the mouse right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be my device controller on my mainboard We're up and running - I needed to disable Plug'n'Play in the BIOS - simple as that :) :lol: I feel like such a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
