problems with 8.1
Hi There,
I've had a similar
problem. The installation of 8.1 went through smoothly, detected the
mouse etc. Upon first boot up the mouse dies under the Linux console (X
works fine). The mouse 'cursor' stays at the top of the screen and won't
move from there, and moving it wreaks havoc on the prompt. To fix this
problem, run the mouse configuration program (mouseconfig I think) and it
should get your mouse working again. Although it seems like it is only a
temporary fix.
By the way, what is
the manufacturer of your mouse. I've got an A4TECH PS/2 wheel mouse, if
this is similar to yours it might help. Good Luck.
Craig

Mouse (ps2) problems with 8.1
Hello
Unfortunately I lost the
discussion about ps2 mice with LM 8.1. I finally
decided to upgrade (not really - new installation is the proper term
-
upgrade is so slow that I gave in) one of my LM
8.0. I noticed that LM 8.1
doesn't like ps2 mice
at all (I have no such problems with Lm 8.0).
Problems:
a) if I don't move the mouse
during the very first install step LM 8.1 won't
recognize. I had to start install from scratch in order to get
the mouse
working.
b) First
boot - no mouse despite LM 8.1 has recognized it during install.
c) Second boot - mouse is working. However once I left
an user session the
mouse was gone again.
Does anyone know of a fix for that annoying behavior?
Many thanks
Eduardo
