Re: [newbie] 9.1 mouse lockup

[Tom & Karen Pino]

Brian, Called Lorin and he gave this a try.  He got to the menu and could not get any of it to work with the enter key or a number of other key strokes (linux commands, I assume). I assume that this means that the install of his 9.1 is screwy in some way and he should reinstall.  If this assumption is correct and I am not having a MS moment, should he reformate his HD or just reload? Or is there something else that we are over looking here? He really liked that menu.  Too bad it won't work.

Login as root and then type: drakconf That will produce a menu including mouse selection - probably under hardware. It's been a while since both 9.1 and using this interface for me, so I'm unable to be more specific. Hopefully that will at least get a start on fixing the problem.
