I can't give you a solution, but I can point you in the right direction. Different mice run at different speeds (eg. baudrates). If you cold boot Linux (from power off). then the mouse should work fine. But, if you boot into Windows, and have installed the driver for that mouse, the Windows driver may change the speed of the mouse such that a warm boot into Linux may not reset the rate such that the mouse is talking a different speed. I don't recall exactly how to do this, but you might find that playing with GPM is easier than with X. Also, another thing to look at is GPM itself. Sometimes, GPM has been known to cause problems with X (I have not heard of that problem in a long time, and I think that has been corrected)., On 2 May 2002 at 21:29, keith wrote:
Hi Tor
Boot into single-user mode. Mount / as rw ( mount -o remount,rw / ) and edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config. Make sure that the mouse device is the correct one ( /dev/psaux for PS/2, /dev/usbmouse for USB ) and that the protocol is "imps/2". That should be enough to get the mouse working.
Thanks Tor but I have already tried this re your reply of 26/04/02 to SuSE v8 Booting WinME & Mouse Problems. I'm now begining to wish I had never started.
