From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 Description of problem: Problem: Every few seconds the mouse freezes and does not come back. This problem happened during the installation process and continues to happen every few seconds now that Red Hat Linux 9 is up and running. This problem make Red Hat 9 totally unusable. This is an upgrade from Red Hat 8.0 where the problem did not occur. Information: When mouse freezes, I can do a <CTRL-ALT-F1> and then a <CTRL-ALT-F7> and continue where I left off for a few more seconds. When I do a <CTRL-ALT-F1> I have seen the following error message: "(nautilus:1671) Eel-WARNING **: emit_event() returning FALSE!" Platform is Intel Motherboard with 1.9 GHz Pentium 4 processor. Mouse is Microsoft Intellimouse with IntelliEye 1.0 I have done a mouseconfig back and forth between Generic 3-Button PS/2 and Microsoft Intellimouse drivers. The nautilus error message above only happened when using the Microsoft Intellimouse driver. No error msgs have been seen while using the Generic 3-Button PS/2 driver but the mouse freeze problem error still persists. Red Hat 9 is worthless to me in it's current state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Linux 9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Red Hat 9 2. 3. Actual Results: See Description Expected Results: See Description Additional info: See Description
The nautilus message has nothing to do with this. Reassigning to XFree86.
Problem was found to be caused by a defective MS Optical Intellimouse 1.0 that was causing the mouse coordinates to go out of range. MS Windows compensates for this problem and just had a momentary pause. RedHat 9 could not handle this and locks up.
Thanks for the update. Setting bug status to "NOTABUG".
