Mandrake 9.1 Mouse Problem

darksecant · 03-21-2003, 12:58 PM

My Microsoft Optical Mouse Intellipoit 4.1 USB worked fine in the setup, but then when I boot up Mandrake, all the mosue does is go up and down when i move the mouse every which direction. I reinstalled Linux 4 times, and the mouse did work fine in the setup but then just goes up and down. Any suggestions?

Did you check your XF86Config-4 if using Xfree 4x, if so it should read something like this :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Assuming your USB mouse is considered Mouse 1.

PS If using XFree 3x then it will be /etc/X11/XF86Config

Good Luck
