Proliant & Fedora/Suse 9.0

mule · 10-27-2003, 06:46 AM

hi folks,

i got a nice presetn - a old compaq proliant 1600. so installed fedora - which went well - but i have no mouse. effect: i have a mouse while booting that i even can move, but as soon as i get on the login screen, the mouse cursor freezes in the middle of the screen.

so, i tried suse 9.0 - with the same effect.

The mouse is a Microsoft IntelliMouse Rev 1.2.A ps/2 (i installed the same driver)

Thank you for any help!

Cheers,
Roger

Try disabling gpm, if it's installed. The gpm driver (General Purpose Mouse, for using the mouse in console mode) has a tendency of screwing up when you use XFree86, especially if you have specified any other device driver for the mouse than gpm.

...gpm isn't installed at all...is this needed??

No, it's not required. But I find it strange - you say you have a mouse until the login screen. Is this a graphic login screen or just the black and white terminal?
What mouse driver do you have specified in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4?

it's the graphic login screen. the mouse is installed as a microsoft intellimouse 1.2A.

While booting fedora, there are 2 graphical screens, one ist just with the mouse cursor (yes, i can move the mouse here...) afterwards there is a kind of x-reset and the gui-login-screen prompts (no, here the mouse no longer works...)

thx for any help.

- as i had a free usb-port, i installed the mouse now via usbhci (adaptor usb - 2 x ps/2): works fine!!

- and now the biggest: my power supply broke down!!! what a month :-(

Thx all for support!

i've tried it, unfortunately, it didn't help. I'm getting now the following:

hub.c: new USB device 01:0a.0-1, assigned address 4
usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x3f0/0x1411) is not claimed by any active driver.

thx in advance

So, I am confused. Did the installation of a USB mouse work for you?

I have a simlar problem, but with RH9 and a Proliant 1600 (PII 450 x 2); the system will not recognize a PS/2 mouse at all.
