Sorry for not responding to this earlier. It was misfiled against 'mkkickstart' instead of 'redhat-config-kickstart'. I am unable to reproduce this behavior. To be honest, I don't see how starting the program could cause the mouse to freeze since redhat-config-kickstart does not try to probe the mouse. Try opening a terminal and running 'redhat-config-kickstart' from the command line. Does the mouse still lock up? Yes it still occurs, but is not limited to kickstart -- any program that probes the USB. Well, that's the funny thing...redhat-config-kickstart doesn't probe for the mouse at all. notting: Have you seen any bugs similar to this regarding mouse probing in RHL 8.0? No, I don't recall anything like that. Well, I don't know how else to proceed here other than to resolve as 'worksforme'. I'm fairly certain that the Microsoft IntelliMouse optical cordless works with Red Hat Linux on other machines. I don't know how to explain the behavior you are seeing because there is no mouse probing code in redhat-config-kickstart. |
