How do you get to the "boot options" parameter to add the i8042.nomux=1.
Just type it in at the bottom of the screen at the Grub boot menu, or alternatively add it via YaST. YaST -> System -> Boot Loader Configuration, highlight "Available Sections" -> Edit, highlight SUSE LINUX 9.2 -> Edit, and add it at the end of the "kernel" line.
In summary something is wrong with the mouse under 9.2. It is not a hardware issue. It may be some setup that I can not find. I want to try your tip but I am not sure where do you change those "boot options" parameters.
I was surprised to read James' comment, actually, because I had installed 9.2 on the same laptop, and did NOT need this parameter - the mouse works fine on 9.2, although it went haywire on 9.1!
Hi I have the same problem when switching with the KVM switch but making the addition to the kernel line did not help. I can stop the mouse pointer , actually in my case a track ball, going wild by unplugging it for the KVM switch and plugging it straight back in again Any other recommendations would be welcome. Failing that I will hope the 9.2 upgrade from 9.1will solve it for me. Regards Roger
