Mouse don't work

My mouse don't work in console and when I load up X it won't work there either, I've tryed most options in xf86config.

I've tryed 2 other mice and they won't work either in linux.

they work fine in win.

I think you need gpm running for console mouse support:

GPM adds mouse support to text-based Linux applications such the Midnight Commander. Is also allows mouse-based console cut-and-paste operations, and includes support for pop-up menus on the console.

If your mouse won't work at all, anywhere, try running setup and select mouse configuration.

I have gpm installed.

What kind of mouse is it and can u post the mouse configuration part in your XF86Config?

Does it say something like 'starting console mouse services' when starting up. Is it a bit odd that X works at all - if no mouse?? God knows.

just plug in and out then reboot your pc

Do you have kudzu running?

Code:

chkconfig --list | grep kudzu

should return something like:

Code:

kudzu           0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

kudzu wil detect new hardware and try to install/config it for you.
