Mouse Problems
 

Ive just installed suse 9.0 and I've noticed that when my computer boots onto the GUI it takes some time before I can move the mouse pointer, and at the log-in screen the mouse doesn't work at all. It's a serial mouse and I know it's a minor problem but it's starting to irritate

Check out the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

under Section "InputDevice"

set Option "Protocol" "Auto"
and see if that helps. (You'll have to restart X)

good call

Thanks for that, I've not had a chance to do it as I've been messing around for a couple of hours trying to install the NVIDIA drivers
