Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
i have the proliant 1600, running fedora and suse 9.0. with both, i have the same problem:
- at boot time, i can move the mouse.
- as soon i get on the login screen, the mouse is gone.
-> Mouse is a Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.2A -ps/2, i have it also installed like this.
Any idea how i get my mouse working?

Type
This should start an xterm where you can type commands
in this xterm su - to root
and rerun suse config mouse setup
Hope this is of use

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
YaST2 to reconfigure your mouse
you may try every option in there
the path in SuSE 8.2 is
YaST>Hardware>mouse
I think is the same in 9.0

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
Just make sure the mouse isn't clogged, perhaps try a different mouse of the same variety.

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
Might it be possible, that i have a problem with this port? how can i find out? or even better, IF i have, how can i resolve?
it's very strange, as if i install fedora (redhat), there are 2 stages on bootup, where you have a gui....in the first stage before the login prompt, the mouse works without any problem (means i can move it)

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
I would try to first disable gpm if it is running, I have seen this cause problems at x start
# ps -ef | grep -v "grep" | grep -i "gpm"
to find gpm, followed by
#kill -TERM `gpm_pid`
then try startx again .... see if this helps
if it does not I still would focus on the content of XF86Config in the mouse section

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
my ex: is from RegHat
#gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/input/mice
note /dev/input/mice could be diff on your system (Suse)
come to think of it What are your protection like ? here are the ones on my system
ls -l /dev/mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 1 18:57 /dev/mouse -> input/mice
ls -l /dev/input/mice
crw------- 1 root root 13, 63 Jan 30 2003 /dev/input/mice
if that fails, try see what
#dmesg | grep -i "mouse"
reveals ... But, you probably have done this already !

Re: Linux & Proliant 1600 - no mouse
The file on my redhat 7.2 box and my debian 3.0 box is:
/etc/X11/XF86config-4
Look for a section that reads something like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Your settings may be different. Once you know what X is looking for it should be easier to diagnose the problem, common problems are wrong protocol or device.
I would first look for any problems in this file, thats what I would do.
