Have a look at /etc/X11/XF86Config It should have an entry something like Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "Wacom Mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "InputFashion" "Tablet" Option "Mode" "Relative" To get the mouse to behave like a mouse make sure that "InputFashion" for the mouse device is "Tablet" and not "Pen" and make sure that "Mode" is "Relative" and not "Absolute". You should be able to change these through YaST or SaX. As a matter of interest, do your middle and right wacom mouse buttons function correctly? I have an early wacom serial mouse and had to get a special script to set these two mouse buttons to work as normal. JDL -- Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

Well, that sure did the trick, I added 'sleep 3' and of the three times I booted since then, my mouse worked every time. So that is one problem less. Thank you very much for your help. I looked at this database before, but that was before this article was posted. Frits J. Wüthrich (Sent with Kmail) On Monday 24 June 2002 18:10, Yippee Three-eight wrote:

I can't help you with the mouse acting like a pen, but for the mouse not responding, go to http://www.suse.com. Go to the Support Database and select Keywords. Go to MOUSE. About 3rd from the bottom is a topic that starts with "USB mouse". That should help you out. I just went through this yesterday. :)

On my machine I have Windows ME, SuSE8 and I use Lilo. I use a graphical tablet, Wacom Graphire2, which is connected to the USB port. THe tablet has a pen and a mouse, and either of those can be used. In windows that works fine, and the mouse behaves like a mouse, and the pen like a pen. In SuSE however both mouse and pen behave like the pen, and what is even more annoying, sometime after startup the tablet doesn't work at all (at tha logon screen). so I have to use my keyboard to reboot. Sometimes I have to reboot a few times before my I can move the cursor at all.

I am rather a newbie, and would appreciate advice.

hi, i was the person that had the problem. like you said, the audio module of the USB webcam is conflicting with the soundcard. during bootup, the system loads "audio" for the usb-uhci module (lsmod confirms this). so after that loads, xserver is blocked from loading the real soundcard. in my case, the Volume test in YaST->Hardware->Sound works even when the audio USB module was loaded.

the easy fix is to "rmmod audio" after bootup.

anyway, does anyone know of a better way of doing this? can i edit modules.conf or something so the audio module of USB will not be loaded at startup?

Thanks this does solve the problem. Thank you fxf -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux
