RHEL 4 and Microsoft Wireless Desktop - Not working


Hi all.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Desktop which plugs into a KVM switch, from there into the PS/2 ports on my WhiteBox Linux Enterprise 4.0 machine (WBEL = RHEL essentially). I cannot get the mouse to work at all. It doesn't move, or do anything.

I had this same problem with Fedora Core 3. It seems that the 2.6 kernel is not friendly with this setup. RHEL 3.0 worked like a charm on the same machine, so did Red Hat 9.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Please help, I don't want to have to go back to RHEL 3.

Thanks

-J
