Guest vorean Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have just installed the madriva free version to start to learn linux - my mouse works during the install then stops working when you actually start up madriva. I have installed twice and tried to diffent mice, in both the usb and ps/2 ports - the machine auto detects the mouse correctly but it will not move - any suggestions?

scarecrow Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 It's either your xorg configuration (please post the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that refers to a mouse device) or an IRQ conflict issue, which should be documented at your logs (/var/log/xorg0.log) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I had this happen once, and I just used keyboard shortcuts to get to the mouse configuration, then it worked. Do: alt-f2 > mcc then use arrow keys and tab to get to hardware > mouse and press enter. Use arrow keys to go through the setup, and then it should work OK.

Guest vorean Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have no idea how to get you the file since they are on the a diffent computer and I have never used Linux before. I did try the configuration thing with the mouse, several times. that didn't change anything Vorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Goelz Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Sorry.... posted a long summary of similar problems on multiple Linux distros and then found a couple more things to try before I jump in here. Stand by. Solved. See this post. Maybe this will help someone else. Paul Edited November 16, 2007 by Paul Goelz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
