Touchpad mouse refuses to work

[shadebug]

My touchpad mouse doesn't want to work (somehow I managed to get the internet working before my mouse)

it worked with the installation disk in and (very badly) on my first boot. Now it doesn't want to work. If I go through the installation process it works but when I get back to normal running it just stays in the middle of the screen. What could I do

OS:Redhat 9
Laptop: PC-Chips Desknote
Processor: Transmeta 5600
Mouse(near as I can tell):2 button usb touchpad with 4way wheel cursor button dealy

I have no PS2 port and no stand alone usb mouse

What does your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 look like?

In particular, there should be a section that looks something like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Serial Mouse" "CorePointer"
# USB Mouse not detected
EndSection


That's from my file, which configures both a serial mouse thingy (part of my wireless keyboard) and a PS/2 mouse simultaneously. Either of them can move the pointer.

There are sections later in the file which define "PS/2 Mouse" and "Serial Mouse". There's also a definition for "USB Mouse".
