Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 100868
cursor position not the same as click position throughout installation
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:56:09 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: Description of problem: The cursor moves as it should, but the actual control that is clicked is about an inch and a half down and to the right of the cursor. Although the screen bounds look normal the cursor cannot move to the bottom right of the screen, but does not stop at the top left. I did check the installation media (several times) and it passed every time. I reinstalled several times to see if it was a fluke and the same bug repeats everytime. I have not installed on a different machine (because I don't have one readily available). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from installation media 2. Choose graphical mode Actual Results: Same as above. Expected Results: The mouse should behave normally. Additional info: My Hardware: Sony VAIO Notebook - Model# FX-220 Intel Pentium 3 Mobile 512 MB RAM Intel 815EM Chipset (Intel 82815 Graphics Controller) Generic Flat Panel LCD Screen (1024x768) Alps Pointer Installation Media: Installing using CD's burned from the iso images downloaded via ftp.
Mike do you know of any X problems on this hardware?
This sounds like a video driver bug. Please attach your X server config file and log file as individual uncompressed browser readable file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment feature below. Then try editing the config file and using the following in the device section: Option "swcursor" Does this option make the problem go away?
