*** Bug 78574 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** To fix this you can run redhat-config-mouse, and select the correct mouse you need. If you have trouble starting the program without a mouse, remember alt-f2 will bring up a window that lets you run commands. Alternately, you can edit your XF86Config manually as root. Find the "mouse" subsection, and find the "Protocal" subsection and select the correct protocal for your mouse. In my case the line was: "Protocal" "PS/2" and should have been "Protocal" "ExplorerPS/2" Because I have a MS Intellimouse explorer. You can check the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse for some information about mouse protocols and setting up mice. With the change to the input layer for PS/2 and USB mice in the 2.6 kernel, this should no longer be an issue in releases later than Fedora Core 2. Closing. |
