Isn't this the same question you asked in the other email discussion thread? Why start a new thread? [**or see below]
My reply on the other discussion thread was: : This sounds like a hardware problem. FreeDOS 1.4 uses the same kernel : as FreeDOS 1.3, so this can't be a kernel regression. You said that : you get the same problem with both Cutemouse and Mouse.com, so I don't : suspect a problem in the Cutemouse driver. : : The laptop has a built-in mousepad (aka "touchpad") and you've : connected a mouse as well. Can you try this *without* connecting the : mouse and see what happens? Best to start with the simplest case, and : start debugging there. And I still think it's worth debugging by booting without the mouse connected using the USB-to-PS2 adapter. Louis also asked: : Do you have this issue with other DOSes? **Or maybe you're starting a new thread because you saw my reply to madis-siim and thought I was replying to you? Madis-siim inserted a completely related topic to the other discussion thread, asking about Estonian key mapping. So I asked them to start a new discussion because it was unrelated to your mouse question.
