Hello every one I have a problem here my wheel mouse ps2 style. It will not work at all now. Well it did work during installation. I rebooted the system then the problems started . I see a cursor but it is frozen in the middle of the boot screen and KDE desktop. When I boot Suse 8.1 every time Yast comes up before the login manager and asks my to choose a mouse which I do but it does not work. Below is the info I think might be relative. If it is blocked by another application how do I find out which one or is this a Yast2 problem ? Any help would be most appreciated.

However if this happens the X server doesn't interpret this as "fatal error" but continues loading. It will emit the following message: Cannot open mouse (Device or resource busy) - Continuing... The server will start anyway. Please be aware that you will not be able to use the mouse as it is still blocked by another application. It is therefore necessary to switch back to the text console and then back to graphics mode immediately. With programs like gpm (that don't use the mouse all of the time), it should be possible to use the mouse as usual, when you're back in graphics mode. If you still can't use the mouse, then the only cure of the problem is to terminate the program on the console, that blocks the mouse device. ============================================================================ ================================================= cj@linux:/dev> ls -l mouse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2002-10-13 16:12 mouse -> /dev/psaux cj@linux:/dev> ls -l psaux crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 1 2002-09-09 16:24 psaux
