Salut Francis et Ozy. J'ai eu des problems semblables avec SaX2, depuis (au moins) SuSE 7.x, utilisant MS ou Logitech, PS/2 ou USB. Ok, I'll stop trying to speak French... sorry... :-) I find that sometimes the mouse control goes nuts without provocation, but that is relatively rare for me. More often, what causes it to happen reliably is: a) if I test a video setting that SaX2 (or X?) doesn't like, when I return from the test, the mouse is likely to be sick or b) if I "Abort", rather than using another method of escaping from a SaX2 option. Using "Next" or "Back" or whatever other choice is available does not make the mouse sick during an X configuration session, but (for me) clicking "Abort" in SaX2 is the same as selecting the "Kill Your Mouse?" button. or c) if I try to improve mouse setup beyond whatever was auto-detected... as soon as I save the settings, the mouse pointer goes nuts. It doesn't matter if I make no actual change, or if I pick an appropriate model of mouse from the available list. When I attempt to save... blooey! Not 100%, perhaps, but very frequent. Usually, I would be trying to add a fourth button, just 'cause I hate to waste the function of a perfectly good button. This occurs on several different computers (two very old ones, one modern tower, and one not-too-old laptop). So, I have learned to install SuSE and to configure X without EVER touching the detected/default mouse settings. Apparently, since you two and I are the only three people who ever had mouse-scrambling trouble with SaX2, it's not a priority to fix... (who me? sarcastic? never!) I've had the problem with MS mice and with Logitech. Probably with Kensington trackball, too, but it's been a while since I've used that one, so I may be mis-remembering. /kevin On Wednesday 22 May 2002 15:00, Francis Allouchery wrote:

Since the rest of the install went so well I am thinking this must be a case of pilot error.
Using Sax2 to try to set up X I have run into a problem. When I fire up Sax2 the mouse (Intellimouse/serial) goes away completely. What has worked to recover it so far is to bail out of sax2 and restart the x server.
Away from the house but thinking I'll fire up sax2 without hardware detection when I get back home. In the mean time any one else have any ideas?
I had the same problem with ps2 MS Intellimouse Explorer and SüSE 8.0 on two installations !
Solution for me : run SaX2 again on runlevel 3 (without X) and it was solved !
