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.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2003-10-06 21:30:01 EDT

Were you running this from inside X Windows or not?

Comment 2 Ray Ward 2003-10-07 10:28:31 EDT

This was run from the command line, not from X.

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2003-10-07 12:51:40 EDT

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.
