I have been running Mandrake 8.0 for a couple of years, and today, it stoped recognizing the mouse. This is a multi-boot machine, and the mouse still works on Mandrake 7.0 and Windows 98, on the same machine.

The first symptomes of the problem were during a reboot, the text mode HardDrake came up saying it found a mouse. I configured it for Mouse Systems Mouse, which is what I have.

The mouse is connected to serial port 1.

1) Is there a set of keyboard commands to move the mouse pointer, and click the mouse buttons on KDE?

2) what files need to be set to what, to get the mouse working again?


I can access the files via the Mandrake 7.0 opartition, or in text only mode.


On Mandrake 7.0 partition, /etc/sysconfig/mouse is:
----------------
MOUSETYPE=MouseSystems
XMOUSETYPE=MouseSystems
FULLNAME="Mouse Systems (serial)"
XEMU3=yes
-----------------
also, /dev/mouse -> ttyS0




On the Mandrake 8.0 partition, /etc/sysconfig/mouse is: ------------------ MOUSETYPE=MouseSystems XMOUSETYPE=MouseSystems FULLNAME="serial|Mouse Systems" XEMU3=yes WHEEL=no device=ttyS0 ------------------

Thanks
