I'm using mandrake 9.0 with Gnome. I accidentally switched my mouse setting and now I can't use my mouse at all. I was wondering if there is a way to reset or switch the mouse setting under the command promts in the terminals.
Yeah, you could reconstruct your /etc/X11/XF86Config file from scratch using:
X -configure
as root, but the easiest is probably just editing /etc/X11/XF86Config, poking down to the mouse section and changing whatever you changed. To figure out what to change it to, post what you have in that section and then tell us what kind of mouse you have.
