[expert] Mandrake 8.0 ignoring the mouse
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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Try this. ctrl-alt-f1 login as root and then run drakxconf This is an ncures based tool that will allow you to configure your mouse again. 8.0 might have had mousedrake but I'm not sure.. sorry don't have an 8.0 box around to double check.

Thanks, that did it! It's hard to remember these command line commands when
you never use them!
