This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release Can you replicate this problem without using kickstart? If not, then it must be an installer related issue. Please try without kickstart. If it does fail still, please include your Xserver logs and XF86config-4 as attachments. After looking at your problem some more it seems much more likely that your mouse is misconfigured. Please read the XFree86 mouse manpage, and try out the various mouse types listed until you find one that works. Rerun mouseconfig, Xconfigurator and change the mouse type accordingly: man -a mouse Try different settings, and if one works, please change the bug to "Xconfigurator" or kudzu so Preston/Bill can look into it. I don't think this is particularly an XFree86 issue, but more one of install time autodetection, etc. Reassigning to mouseconfig in case that is relevant. I don't see it as an X bug because X just uses the mouse driver it is told to. Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of having one language and a different keymap... but that was just the only variables that I could find. Either way in the three ks scripts, in the English one, the mouse is listed as generic3ps/2, same in the Russian one. in the Spanish one, the mouse is listed as generic2ps/2 which is closer to the truth. either way, every time I try an install, the default is always a 3 button ps/2, almost as if no probing is done to determine. This has happened with several mice, and as a matter of fact, as far as probing goes, I have tried three different versions of MS and Logitech wheelmice, a generic IBM 2 button, and a couple generic three button PS/2 mice, and ALL of them are detected as generic 3 button PS/2 mice. so... I will try again with a different kscfg file and we shall see what happens... All PS2 mice are more or less equal, as far as the probing is concerned. |
