I just built a workstation, CentOS 7, fully updated. My user requires his
three-button mouse, telling me that imaging software is written for
three-button mice (so *please* don't tell me to tell him to get a new
mouse).
Anyway, no cursor. In both /var/log/messages and journalctl, I see "unable
to enable mouse".
What I read in messages and manpages is that PS-2 is default standard...
anyone have any ideas? I need to resolve this asap... so I can get onto
making sure his research imaging software running on CentOS 7.
Oh, yeah such customers exist, PITA and PEBKAC in most cases.
First testing the mouse on a "older" comp, does it work there?
Next testing, does the PS/2 plug hole on the new board work?
Some of the newer boards only work with keyboards on PS/2.
On testing, if the mouse works, there are adapters "PS/2 female" to
"USB Type A male" on Amazon for a few Bucks, that may be a way to work
around a non-fuctional or missing PS/2 plug-hole.
