Logitech wireless mouse and Mandriva Spring 2009

dolphans1 · 09-20-2009, 02:31 PM

I have a question to ask, I want to install Mandriva Spring 2009 on my PC that has a Logitech wireless mouse, not to be asking a stupid question, but can Mandriva Spring 2009 configure this mouse properly....?

If so, must I install manually during configuration of install?

Hi, no, just configure the mouse as normal.

for example....(I have not used any of the logitek packages)

My wireless keys and mouse connect via ps2. Just no cables on the desk.

ps. If your mouse works during install,

it will probably work after install with the default settings.
