laptop mouse not working outside GUI in Fedora 13
Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 recently converted to run Fedora 13. Everything seems fine except the touchpad mouse doesn't work outside the X-Window. When I boot to full multi-user mode, the mouse doesn't work at all. I think this is responsible for the typical UNIX copy & paste by selecting and right clicking not to work within GUI. Here's the output of # xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation id=12 [slave pointer (2)] Can anyone please advise me what I need to do to make the mouse functional? thanks for any insight, and Merry Christmas. :scratch: |
Have you tried it with a USB mouse? That might help determine if it's an X11 problem or a Device/driver problem...
