I guess that you missed the third screen during the instalation. Yes, it's about setting the mouse type. If you just agreed to "Generic 3-button mouse PS/2", this is exactly what you got at the end - "PS/2". If you found your mouse there and picked it, then and only then it's a bug. In this case, don't forget to tell us which mouse exactly you have (model + make from the down-side of it), and what was you choice during instalation. To play with different choices without the need to reistall it all use "mouseconfig". Correct, you need to select the correct mouse type on the mouse selection screen. PS/2 mice, unfortunately, don't really have much in the way of probing support :) thanks for help, it's ok if I manually select the correct mouse type |
Description of Problem: after install, the mouse wheel doesn't work until I change the line Option "Protocol" "PS/2" to Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rh linux on a system with mouse with wheel on ps/2; during install leave the mouse as detected. Actual Results: wheel should work in X after installation with no additional tweaks Expected Results: wheel doesn't work in X after installation Additional Information: my mouse is Genius, don't know if it matters (I know the IMPS/2 trick from a friend with the same problem)
