Hi there
I am using Mandrake Linux 8.3. Everything was fine until my PS/2 mouse port had some problems and didn't work. Therefore I bought a new USB mouse and it works fine under Win98.
The problem happened after I boot and enter Linux. Before it entered X-window, Linux detected a new USB mouse and asked me to choose the mouse type. Then, I followed the instructions and chose a type. However, after it entered X-window, there was still no mouse.
I tried to configure the mouse under terminal mode using "mouseconfig" command. I tried differed mouse driver types and everytime after I modified the mouse type, I did restart the computer. Unfortunately, all my effort failed.
I believed that " mouseconfig" did modifty the system mouse configuration since everytime when I enter "mouseconfig" , the last time mouse config modification was still there. I guess it's because X-window still tried to use the old X-window configuration even though the system mouse configuration has been changed by me.
Then I tried to use XF86Configure ( I cannot remember it clearly) command and edit some XF86 configuration file, but still failed.
I'm very anxious about this question. Anyboy can help me? Any reply from you guys will be highly appreciated.
