system-config-mouse does not correctly detect ps/2 mouse
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:45 EST
Description of problem: Upon install, gpm is not configured correctly for the ps/2 mouse in a panasonic toughbook. Overriding the values in /etc/sysconfig/gpm with options of "-t ps2 -m /dev/mouse" fixes the problem. Though putting these values into the respective fields, or trying mouseconfig or system-config-mouse does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: reproducable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove the options added to /etc/sysconfig/gpm 2. hup gpm (/etc/init.d/gpm restart) 3. no mouse Actual results: no mouse Expected results: mouse should work after a system-config-mouse or mouseconfig run Additional info:
Config settings go in /etc/sysconfig/mouse. Please test gpm for that as well as system-config-* and reopen if the newest rpm packages still give problems?
comment 1: in the 2.6 kernel, all mice appear as Intellimouse (up or downcoverted) "exps/2". In addition, there should be a /dev/input/mice device on test3, not a /dev/mouse.
