lukii Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 After the instalation of Mandrake 9.2 evrything was working fine, but when I rebooted my computer, then my mouse wasn't working. I could only see te pointer without any possibility to move him. I wanted to reconfigure my mouse - I used xf86cfg, xf86config, mouseconfig, mousedrake, without any success. When I run harddrake it showed me, that I have mouse under ttyS0 , generic 2 button... and during the instalation I have choosen my mouse as, PS/2 wiht wheel.... I don't now how to change it now... I have even changed the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files in the section Input Device - pointer... but the harddrake says always, that I have the serial mouse (ttyS0)... What should I do? Please help me... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 strange. Is there something connected on any of your serial port ? also, may be when harddrake scanned everywhere there could be a mouse it finished with the serial port as default, it could be the reason it assume it's a serial mouse. what mouse is it ? where is it plugged ? the PS/2 mouses are plugged on the same chip as the keyboard. I had some trouble that had not been solved with a hard reset but only after powering down the pc. just in case it's a wireless mouse: did you check the batteries ? just some ideas .. roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukii Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 No nothing is connected to my serial port, my mouse is working on PS/2 (near the keyboard) and it's a normal optical mouse made by Trust... The mouse is working fine under the Windows, I even tried to work in Mandrake with my old mouse - Genius Netmouse, which I have configured in mouseconfig, but it isn't working too... I really don't know what should I do... Please help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
