Integrated Mouse in Mandrake 9.1
 

I installed mandrake 9.1 while having my usb mouse plugged into my laptop not thinking about it, now when I unplug the usb mouse the integrated mouse in my laptop will not work. What do I need to do to get my integrated mouse to work.

laptop- toshiba satellite pro 6100

Thanks,

Most likely, just hand edit the file:

/etc/X11/XF86Config and switch the type of pointer that looks like:

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

to PS/2 from whatever it is now. The possible types are:

Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2 Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2 MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

You'll have to restart X to get it to take effect between tries, also, you might want to change the device if it says /dev/usb/blah blah blah, you can switch that to:

/dev/mouse

or, more likely:

/dev/psaux
