There are two ways to select the mouse type under Yast2: through Hardware / Select Mouse Model and through Hardware / Graphics Card and Monitor.
Mouse can be used by gpm and by the X server. It is possible that each program uses different configuration settings.
It's quite mysterious as to how the two selections interact, especially if the selections are different.
IMHO both settings should be independent. In the past, gpm monitored the mouse in Linux console and X server in GUI. It worked OK but gpm is not activated by default nowadays. Perhaps there is a conflict for certain HW. -- A.M.
