No new news, sorry.
Actually, I didn't get a hand on a PS/2 mice, they look rare beasts.

Is the problem happening with both Xsun and Xorg ?

The problem I can not go beyong the graphic test screen.

How can I get to Xsun and Xorg, any advice?

Thanks

Boot in console (nowin mode), and configure the graphics later. See for links http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...07#post1514707

Hi,zillah

I'm confused at the moment.
have you installed solaris successfully through text installation method.
or you haven't installed it for you could not go through graphic installation method?

I want to look into it because I am about to install solaris, at the existence of WindowXP and Linux, the same situation as
yours PC. What's more, I've just got a two button mice without wheel, so I'm worring that the same complain you encounted
will happen.

Once you've figured out the problem, would you post it out and explain it to all of us?

Advance thanks!

Hi chuanweizuo

I will try and let you know as soon as possible, but I tried previous versions (7 and 8) of solaris without any complain from mouse, I do not why this happend here. Let us keep in touch till we find solution for this problem.

Hi zillah

Hi chuanweizuo

I could not find any solution yet, the porbelm with PS/2 only not USB Mouse.

I did not find the site that jlliagre pointed helpful,
may be he can direct us to something elase.


What I did is :

1- I logined in from command line as root.

2- Type in "kdmconfig"

3- I received this

X Server Selection

[ ] Xorg server

[ ] Xsun server


Then what should I do to configure the mouse ? I do not know!!!

chuanweizuo if you got any new news, please update us

Thanks for your work!
Ok, I will If I figure it out.

That way: (you are answering you own question)

Try one of each choice an see what happen. With Xsun, you will be asked about your mouse setting. This will create a /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file that will contain your configuration.

If you choose Xorg, it will tell you how to create an Xorg.conf file (by running either "/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure" or "/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig").

Move the xorg.conf file created to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I haven't found a PS/2 scroll mouse to test on my laptop, so can't tell more, sorry.

Last advice, better to have your PC networked when you test these things, so you can have control on it should the graphic configuration is messed.

Hi Zillah,

Here is a Solaris 10 Xorg mouse configuration known to work with a PS/2 wheelmouse:

Thanks , I will try it and let you know

I will explain the whole story again with more details about PCs

1- I have got at the work 50 PCs type IBM P4 IntelliStation E Pro still new in the market

See the description for the PCs here.

2- We have got 3 types of mice with these PCs (Come with package):

a- Tow buttons mice PS/2.

b- Three buttons mice PS/2 (Without wheel).

c- Three buttons mice USB (Not PS/2).see the mice here.

It worked only with option C.


3- I tried to use 2 buttons mice with wheel PS/2 (I borrowed from my friend)it did not work also, I have just tried it befor I wrote this reply. though I tried the same mouse with another PC PIII 865 GHz, it worked fine with out any problem.!!!

Why has the same mouse (worked with other PC but not with IBM (50 PCs) )?

What should I configure to change this value ? Which file should I change?

There's only one file to configure Xorg: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
