Two mice are configured automatically when you set "PS/2" in redhat-config-mouse or anaconda in order to accomodate hotplug USB mice. This is very handy for laptops but unfortunately something in the kernel is broken that is preventing it from working at the moment (Bug 80359). I suspect that your erratic pointer behavior is due to the gpm bug (Bug 80309). Please try disabling gpm with "service gpm stop; chkconfig gpm off". If this fixes the pointer behavior in X, please close this as a duplicate to Bug 80309. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80309 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
