Mandrake 9.1 and USB Mouse

IlliniGrad · 03-29-2003, 05:04 PM

Hi all,
I'm very new to Linux, and I've just installed Mandrake 9.1. Things are going alright, but I'm having major issues with my USB mouse in X.

I have a MS Wireless Intellimouse Explorer USB and a USB Keyboard if that helps.

Anyways, when I start X, all my mouse can do is move up and down, and it often brings up other desktops.

I've tried drakconf and chose Exlporer as my USB mouse, but that doesn't seem to help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Can you post your xf86config section concerning your mouse?

I'm sorry, I didn't know which forum that the thread was best suited for so I posted to both.
I won't double post again.
