mouse problem in Red hat Linux 7.0

[ahman]

My problem is I can't use my mouse in the X-windows. This thing happended, when i change my ps/2 mouse to serial mouse. If i am not mistaken, i remeber that there is a prompt that ask me to remove or change the configuration when i boot up the machine, and i don't know what i have pressed. So now i only can use the serial mouse only, and the old one cannot work already. Even i have changed it to the ps/2 mouse, but it never detect by the OS. So, is there anyway to reconfigure the mouse..Pls help me, i am a newbie :confused:

Try using linuxconf or mouseconfig (if you have it) to configure the mouse. Otherwise, try this:

ls -l /dev/mouse

Is there such a file and does it point to somewhere? If so, do this:

mv /dev/mouse /dev/mouse.backup
ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse

Restart X and see if it works. If not, try to reboot and see if that works. If nothing works, do:

rm -f /dev/mouse
mv /dev/mouse.backup /dev/mouse

That will restore your previous setup before we mucked with it.

if you are not a script kiddy try .....

Unhook mouse .... Restart (I know M$ style)

KUDZU will run and ask if you want to remove.....Say Ya ....

HALT .... Reconnect PS/2 mouse ... Startup

If KUDZU doesnt run again runnit from ROOT

command ( kudzu )

SHould install it again ......
