No Mouse in RH7.2

[eter4]

Has anyone had problems with Mice not wokring in RH7.2 I have a PS/2 mouse
2 button, Nothing fancy but it just does not seem to want to work.
It didn't even work during the initial setup of RH??
Any Ideas??

Hi,

It should work if it isn't faulty - maybe you configured it as a serial mouse or something. Anyway, try using the 'mouseconfig' utility. That does both the console mouse config and also updates your X config too if you wish :

# /usr/sbin/mouseconfig

If you don't have that program you need to install the rpm of the same name - i.e. ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/mouseconfig-4.23-1.i386.rpm

Download and install as root with :

# rpm -Uvh mouseconfig*.rpm

Hope this helps

thanks for the tip I will try that.

The mouse works fine on a RH 6.2 box it's only on the machines with 7X on them that it does not work
USB mice work fine.
