Hi all, as often happens, in the process of writing this email I have found the solution to the quiestion I was going to ask. I'll post it anyway in case it comes in useful to somebody.
Problem - mouse doesn't work after boot (it used to work). I found that if I went through Yast (text mode) and selected the already correctly selected mouse, the mouse would start working. After some digging in Yasts log files, I narrowed it (resumption of mouse operation) down to the fact that yast issues the command "xmset <my mouse details>". #xmset -s /dev/mouse ExplorerPS/2 0 0 0 5 off 50 off #xmset -a /dev/input/mice:ExplorerPS/2:1200:60:0:3:off:50:off:reopen #xmset -s /dev/input/mice ExplorerPS/2 1200 60 0 3 off 50 off Why aren't the equivalent details set at boot time? I would guess that yast is supposed to set this up correctly. OK, digging further, I find that the mouse description in XF86Config is incorrect, even though the Yast logs suggest that it is being updated. I run Sax2 and change the mouse to the correct device - lo and behold it works. Still something a bit dodgy here, but I'm happy now. -- Eliot
