Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 23483
Mouseproblems....
Last modified: 2008-08-01 12:22:51 EDT
I can't seem to get normal mouseoperations running under RH 7. I have used logitech (3 mouse buttons) and a "normal" compaq mouse. These are ps/2, bus mouses (what the hell is the difference?). It is related to my servswitch (a swith to have 1 monitor, mouse and keyboard on 2 computers), which gives constant signals to the computer, saying the mouse is there (windows likes that behaviour very much). If I connect the mouse directly to the pc, the problem doesn't occur. Is there some kind of setting that I can change, so it behaves correctly using a switch?
I have just completed a text mode interface for redhat-config-mouse, which means that mouseconfig will be deprecated in the next release of Red Hat Linux. Therefore, I will not be putting any development time towards fixing mouseconfig bugs, so I'm closing this as 'wontfix'.
I don't see the relationship between the way the mouse driver works and a configuration program called mouseconfig.
Sorry, I added the above message to all open mouseconfig bugs. In any case, the original problem isn't a mouseconfig problem, it's an issue with the KVM. Not all KVM's behave the same, and some KMVs work with Red Hat Linux and some don't. Because of this, we do not officially support KVM hardware. This isn't to say that the KVM is defective, it's just that apparently the kernel is expecting the KVM to do something other than what it is doing. If you like, you can file a bug against the kernel and see what the kernel team has to say about it. My guess is that they will say that there's nothing they can do if they don't have the hardware specs for the KVM that explains exactly what signals it is sending to the motherboard.
I moved it to the kernel team. Thanx for the quick reply. Also reopened the bug, and changed priortiy ;)
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
