Do you mean that the settings are messed up in X or on the console? Or both? Both I beleive. It saves the setting temporarily, but when the machine reboots it loses the setting somehow. Making my mouse to behave in a crazy fashion. Does that help? I'm having a similar problem. I upgraded from RH8.x to 9. I use a Data Transfer Switch to sare mouse/keyboard/monitor bwtween 2 computers. Previously, I could switch back and forth between the 2 boxes eaasily. Now, when I switch over to the other box, then back to the RH9, my mouse no longer works. The keyboard and monitor both switch fine. The mouse has always done so as well until this latest version. I can use the keyboard to run redhat-config-mouse, which will make the mouse work again (until the next time i switch back and forth). A ctrl-alt-backspace restart of X also results in returned mouse functionallity. I'm using a microsoft optical wheel mouse (ps/2), which i define as "generic wheel mouse" in setup. Thanks, M Problem: Mouse stops working when Data Transfer Switch is used to switch b/t 2 machines. Expected Results: Mouse works normally when switched back, as it has in previous RH versions. Ah, ok. I think that this problem is caused by the interaction between X and the KVM. Basically, no KVMs are officially supported because they all seem to be different in how they pass along the mouse signals. KVM's are basically the luck of the draw in if they will work or not. I bought one Belkin KVM that works. Later I bought a second Belkin KVM which was a new model that replaced my old Belkin...it makes the mouse go crazy in X. I'm not sure if there's anything we can do. I'll transfer this bug to Mike Harris so he can say for sure. Brent's assessment is correct, KVM switches are often very problematic, and are not supported by Red Hat. Rationale and further details can be obtained by following the link below to the KVM master bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 89948 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Let me start by saying that I am a newbie, so please bare with me. I recently installed Redhat 8 and everything went smooth. I'm using a KVM switch with a microsoft ps/2 intellie mouse. This is my problem. When I restart, my mouse settings do not save. I do a "redhat-config-mouse" and select the appropriate mouse, it saves and everything works fine. However, when I reboot the setting does not save and my mouse in inoperable. Can you assist me in detail on how I can remedy this? TIA!!!!!
