Neither PS/2 nor serial mice are detected? Is the probe being run in 'safe' mode?

Comment 3 Kelley Lemons 2003-08-29 20:24:46 UTC
I have the same problem and can't run the GUI from the server.  Serial mouse 
was not detected and various other mice. I don't know how to run the probe in 
the safe mode but would try if someone tells me how. 

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-02 04:49:06 UTC
Well, if it's failing in general, then the probe isn't being run in safe mode.
Will have to try and track down some of that hardware.

Comment 6 Kelley Lemons 2003-10-02 13:28:45 UTC
You can run in safe mode or any other mode.  The mouse is not recognized.  I 
would like to know if any fix is currently being worked on for this problem.  I 
purchased the new release of redhat 9.0 and haven't been able to run xwindows 
because of the error in the operating system.  I will work with technical 
support or test whatever is needed to resolve this problem.  Please respond on 
the status of this bug so I can report it to my upper management.  

Thanks

(Note: bugzilla is not an official support mechanism; it's just a defect
reporting service.)

At this point, it's not really being looked at much due to lack of the hardware
in question; this failure seems specific to that hardware.

I had the same problems but after I did a system erase using Compaq's 
SmartStart 5.3 cd, and selected "Linux" as the os to be installed it 
detected the PS2 mouse just fine.

Michael

Ignore last comment, the reason the mouse is now detected was because 
i used "linux nousb" at the installation prompt.

Comment 11 Patrick Dumais 2005-05-09 03:22:45 UTC
"LINUX NOUSB" !!! Works great... Thanks

Comment 12 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-23 20:13:57 UTC
Closing out bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack
of response.

Please test this bug on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4. If it persists
there, please file a new bug.
