From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040413 Debian/1.6-5 Description of problem: I have a ps/2 3-button mouse. Works fine under RH9. Under Fedora 2, it is detected, but doesn't move, neither in console, not under X. Tried all configuration variants I found with Google, and both kernels - no effect. However, if I change the default kernel config from CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y to CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m and do modprobe psmouse, then it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.5-1.358 2.6.6-1.422 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot into default kernel 2.6.5 or 2.6.6 2.try to move the mouse 3. Additional info:
I have the same problem. The mouse was detected but did not work during install or afterwards. gpm loads without incident, but there is no cursor. Likewise, X starts but the mouse cursor just sits in the middle of the screen. Running system-config-mouse doesn't help. Mouse is a 3-button ps/2 Logitech Mouseman. Using the ps2 mouse kernel module instead of built-in functions as a workaround, but it'd be nice to have a proper fix.
Same problem here, I have an older SGI PS/2 3-button mouse. Worked fine in RH 8.0, upgraded to FC2 and I get a pointer but can't move it or click. Where do you set CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2? Is that in one of the config files or do you pass that to the kernel as a boot argument?
Same problem here with a Logitech OEM (Dell) 3-button mouse PS/2 mouse: it's frozen. I haven't tried to recompile the kernel. Just switched to a USB mouse.

Update: my report is against FC3 not 2.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
