no working mouse (even with HID in modules file)
Hello.
I would like some help getting mouse support in Mandrake's 9.0 version. I'm using the infamous(e) MS Wireless Intellimouse Explorer. I've had odd amounts of success getting the mouse to work, ranging from the standard "moves up and down, and inches to the right when I click mouse buttons" to "Eureka!" to "nothing at all". XWindows comes up fine, but my mouse no longer works at all. If I switch to a text only session, I can remove the "usbmouse" "hid" and "usb-usci" (sp?) modules, and then readd them with "hid" first, and that worked for about an hour. Then I fiddled with my XF86Config files, and now they won't work at all. I'm going to post the relevent sections of some of the files, in the hopes that you folks can help me set things right. I'm posting the files in seperate replies here, in the hopes that this will make them easier to read. |

Fine... I'll fix it Windows style, since I can't do it on my own, and the hordes of people willing to help are so ever-present
