Hello Group,

I had to install FC24 over my FC20 installation formating the partitions so there's not traces of the old OS.

After strugling weeks and scratching my head until I almost lost all hairs, I come to you with this question.

How come my USB mouse is not woring in the console anymore ??!!??

Not using the mouse top copy&paste in the console drive me NUTS !

So I have to use another computer, ssh to the server and then use the other computer's mouse... What a pain.

where device 107 is my mouse.
gmp is installed as per rpm -q gmp...

Any other ideas ??

thanks !

gpm, tho installed, might not be running. https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto...operation.html
Check with ps
Is the little white block character, which follows the mouse, there?

Finally got it working !

I ended up removing and reinstalling the gmp package. Enabled the service and started and it worked !
