The serial intellimice are fickle little things. On the model we have here sometimes we have to leave it unplugged for hours before the mouse will return to operating normally. The PS/2 mouse probe code kicks the mouse into PS/2 mode (not IMPS/2 mode) and it's hard to get it back in IMPS/2 mode. Is the installer not seeing the mouse at all? Or is it impossible to control the pointer during the installation? If you select a different mouse protocol from the mouse selection dialog (using keyboard navigation), switching from ps/2 to imps/2 or vice versa, does that help? This only happens for Serial Intellimouse the PS/2 version works fine. The first 2 times I boot the installer the mouse pointer would not move. The 3rd time I boot after turning off the PC for 10 mins the mouse work ok. When I booted RH7.0 (also happened in 7.0 Beta as well) the would not work. Not with gpm and not with X. The standard MS mouse serial works though. Choosing different mice using mouseconfig had no effect. Have you seen this behavior in more recent versions of Red Hat Linux? I have just completed a text mode interface for redhat-config-mouse, which means that mouseconfig will be deprecated in the next release of Red Hat Linux. Therefore, I will not be putting any development time towards fixing mouseconfig bugs, so I'm closing this as 'wontfix'. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
