The graphical install program starts by autodetecting my mouse (successfully). Then after having clicked about some in the install program, it asks me what type of mouse I have. As I didn't really know whether I have a bus mouse or a ps/2 mouse, of course I gave the wrong answer, and X wouldn't start after installation. I fixed this by moving the /dev/mouse link to point to /dev/psaux, but as this may not be a viable solution for beginners, maybe you should look into mouse detection some more. //Johan
After graphical install with correct mousedetection (Microsoft 2.1A serial mouse at com3) X does not get configured correctly (mousetype=auto?). Also gpm is not started with -R (this is present in a FAQ of the Redhat 6.0 paper documentation?).
Not selecting the correct mouse in mouseconfig is not a bug in the installer. The guess that the installer makes to start with is a really basic guess, and there is a chance that the user would like to customize that selection, which is why the second screen is given. You can just select <next> in that screen, which will accept the default that the installer found if you do not wish to customize.
