After graphical install with correct mousedetection (Microsoft 2.1A serial mouse at com3) X does not get configured correctly (mousetype=auto?). Also gpm is not started with -R (this is present in a FAQ of the Redhat 6.0 paper documentation?). Not selecting the correct mouse in mouseconfig is not a bug in the installer. The guess that the installer makes to start with is a really basic guess, and there is a chance that the user would like to customize that selection, which is why the second screen is given. You can just select <next> in that screen, which will accept the default that the installer found if you do not wish to customize. |
