From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686; Nav) When Installing there is NO way to override the autodetected mouse type. This occurs in normal, expert modes. The machine hardware has a PS/2 controller but no PS2 mouse attached, anaconda finds this controller and then starts the load of X windows giving no chance to change the mouse type and within the X windows session there is no way to move between windows to select the correct mouse type during an expert install Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from Disk or CD on a machine which has a PS2 controller with a serial mouse attached for instance 2. Start the install process 3. at x windows start the ps2 controller is found even thou I have a serial mouse in. This is not a problem on new hardware where I can just plug in a PS/2 mouse but on older machines P133 etc.. where there is PS/2 capabilities on the motherboard but no cable from the motherboard to a PS/2 port. Actual Results: Xwindows Started but the serial mouse was not found and ps/2 was selected which meant I could not do anymore of the install process Expected Results: Either the serial mouse needs to be probed for first or the ability to select the correct mouse type needs to be added. Machine is a Pentuim 120 with 64 Meg ram and 4 gig Hard disk The machine has a PS/2 controller but no cable from the motherboard to the slots on the back of the machine to allow a PS/2 mouse to be pluged in.
