Hi, How can I set on SuSE 8.1 Professioanl that I do not have any mouse attached? This is server box without X, keyboard, display and mouse. Each time server is started it cannot find any mouse and prompt me to select and accept "None" for mouse device type. Thanks. -- Ivan Gustin -- Ovaj mail provjeren je antivirusnim programom ESET NOD32 prilikom prolaska kroz mail server.

I thought this was something particular that went wrong on one of my boxes, but I see it's a problem. I have solved it with chkconfig --del hwscan One feature that is cooler in Red Hat than SuSE is the timeout on the hardware detection tool at startup. Because SuSE does not have this, if you remotely reboot a server, it could get stuck in that "Choose mouse" screen, and it's not fun, because it may happen that the server is far away (another building, another city). -- Linux/Unix Systems Engineer http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961
I think that if you'll configure your machine (after install) with no mouse
(from yast) you'll have no problem when you reboot your machine... try this
at home! ;)
Or if you wanna be absolutely sure, install suse without a mouse attached to
your machine... what about this one? :D

What it seemed wrong in my case was the fact that yast2 would start the "choose mouse" screen at each reboot, mouse or no mouse. I unplugged the mouse, and, at each reboot, there's the stupid screen again. I think this is a bug. -- Linux/Unix Systems Engineer http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961

That's right, I have the same situation.
I think this is a bug.
Probably, or too strong detection. I use following workaround: switch off hardware scan on each start (disabled hwscan). There is no HW changes on that machine, so... :-) -- Ivan Guštin, ivan@elin.hr, (098) 366-346 ELIN Elektronika i informatika, www.elin.hr, (052) 623-491 Lindarska cesta 1, 52000 Pazin -- Ovaj mail provjeren je antivirusnim programom ESET NOD32 prilikom prolaska kroz mail server.

hwscan is a service, you don't need to switch it off "on each start". chkconfig --del hwscan This switches it off, and it stays off (for subsequent reboots), until you turn it back on again with chkconfig --add hwscan. -- Linux/Unix Systems Engineer http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961

I was not enough clear. :-) I meant disabling hwscan in Yast (not disabling that on each start). Ivan -- Ovaj mail provjeren je antivirusnim programom ESET NOD32 prilikom prolaska kroz mail server. This mail has been scanned by antivirus software ESET NOD32 during passing through mail server.
