From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Kensington 2-button PS2 mouse worked fine as Microsoft 2-button during installation, but did not work right after reboot. Wanted to change mouse configuration, ran redhat-config-mouse: [root@localhost]# redhat-config-mouse Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-mouse/redhat-config-mouse.py", line 5, in ? import mouse_gui File "/usr/share/redhat-config-mouse/mouse_gui.py", line 26, in ? import gtk File "/usr/src/build/147273-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site- packages/gtk/__init__.py, line 19, in ? RuntimeError: could not open display Line 5 is "import mouse_gui". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-mouse-1.0.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.log in as root 2.run redhat-config-mouse 3. Additional info:
Were you running this from inside X Windows or not?
This was run from the command line, not from X.
Ok, that's what I thought. This bug has been fixed in RHL 9 and beyond. I created a text mode interface so that if you start redhat-config-mouse from the command line, it will bring up the text interface instead of the GUI version.
