Hi guys,

Recently downloaded Mandrake 10.0 Community after paying....

Installs fine, had some problems with Sound but fixed that.

BUT. After using KDE (3.2?) for about 5 to 10 minutes, my Mouse just stops working. Just freezes. For no reason. Regardless of what i am doing. I can tab around and use menus from the keyboard just fine. But no mouse. The light is on but no movement.

So, i try to logout of X... And the whole system hangs. I would give you more info but i am in windows ATM. Work and all.

Any help appreciated...

Cheers

I too have/had this problem.

When I first installed 10.0, I only had the first of the installation CDs. Installed it, clicked 'cancel' when it asked for CDs 2 and 3 (and 4?!), restarted, and everything booted just fine, no problems with the mouse - even after hours of use.

Then, after I got my hands on the last two install CDs, I reinstalled Mandrake, rebooted... and my mouse didn't work at all... not even for a little bit. So, I just now tried reinstalling - this time with my mouse plugged into a USB port (I was using an adapter and had it plugged into the standard PS/2 port for the mouse)... rebooted, and the mouse works fine.

I'm down one USB port, but at least I have a functioning mouse! =)
It would be nice to know how to get it working the other way though!


Hmmm, perhaps it's our motherboards? I have a GA-7N400L ...

**EDIT:
Well, actually now I AM having the problems you had with the mouse... minus the system hanging when you go to log off........... so, I don't know what up. I KNOW I didn't have the problem when I just installed off of the first CD, so it has to be something from one of the other two. Grr.
/EDIT**

Well it appears that i have fixed my problem, by doing the opposite.

My mouse was plugged into the USB port, so i plugged into the PS/2 port and now it works fine.....

Now for my Radeon 9200, thats another story.

cheers
