Hi,
I installed FC3 on my Intel 1.7Ghz processor the other day.During the entire installation period my optical ps/2 mouse didn't work.I completed the installation with my ps/2 keyboard.The cursor can be seen at the center of the screen but couldnot be used.i used system-config-mouse to set up my mouse as "3-button
ps/2 mouse"(Emulate 3 button),but still doesnot work.I also have windows Xp on my system and when i reboot from Linux,surprisingly my mouse doesn't even work at windows logon prompt.

can anyone help me out of this.

Well, if your mouse doesn't work with linux, or windows, I suspect there just might be a problem with the mouse.

It's usually best to check for simple things first:

Is it plugged in? Please double-check.
Does it need a battery?
...Is the battery in need of changing?
Does your mouse work on another computer?
Have you tried a different mouse with your computer?

Maybe your mouse is dead.

Oh, and welcome to LQ!

Hi,


My mouse is working in Windows.It has no hardware problems,its connnected correctly to the system.The moment i boot into Linux(FC3)its not working.I can just see the cursor on the sceen and can't use it.I read the other day on the net that FC3 kernal has some problems with the working of mouses.Is an upgrade the only solution to this problem??


plz help me out of this,i need a working Linux system asap.
