Your XF86Config should have always had both mouse sections. This is not the root of the problem. What kind of mouse? ooops, you are right, my mistake. The mouse is an old MS optical. However mouse isn't the problem. I have three other mice all the same basic PS/2 wheel type. They all do the same thing. Problem first noticed with phoebe 093 after I did a recent up2date. I waited for beta3 to check it out. Several different distros use same test box and mouse they work just fine. Let me know if I can help test more. bill Added comments. After installing the B094 again, another consistent behavior is noted. After the click on OK in Redhat-Mouse-config the mouse cursor zooms off screen lower left. Moving the mouse will bring the cursor back to visible and it works normally. bill This seems like the mouse protocol was incorrect, either due to incorrect autodetection, or incorrect manual selection. Another possible issue is our default configuration adding a secondary pointer for USB devices using /dev/input/mice which may conflict with some setups, and needs to be manually unconfigured to work around. In Fedora Core 2 and later everything uses /dev/input/mice so both problems should be resolved. Please try upgrading to Fedora Core 2 if you haven't already, and if you still experience this or similar problems, please file a new bug report and we will investigate the problem again on the new OS release. Thanks. |

Go to system setting => mouse dialog comes up, leave selection alone click close mouse speed now normal. Same for all users, root and normal. Same with phoebe 0.93 and 0.94 XF86config after boot .... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" EndSection XF86config after opening and closing dialog .... Section "InputDevice" # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time. Identifier "DevInputMice" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" EndSection the identifier is changed from "Mouse(0)" to "DevInputMice" after boot it is changed back to "Mouse(0)" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot and login normal 2.mouse moves slow 3.open systems settings => mouse 4.mouse select dialog comes up 5.click close with no changes 6.mouse works properly Additional info: Mouse will move slow if the setting is not poked back to what it should be. The config setting does not appear to be permanent. It is only session long. Log out and back in, same slow mouse until you poke the setting type.
