No, I'm saying mandrake does not need to look at your bios settings for pnp instruction,
and the method I have described is the way to stop it doing it.

Steve,
Are you saying I should try disabling the PNP in the BIOS? I'll try it and see how it goes. Yes the mouse is plugged into a PS2 port. Thanks!

G'day all,There is a known issue with mice in the extreme southern hemisphere. Due
I've just got a new P4 box at home, and successfully loaded xp and mandrake 9 onto it. I'm a long-time windows user, but this is my first exposure to linux/mandrake.
I have a 2-button ps-2 mouse installed. The machine is developing the habit of sometimes not recognising the mouse when I boot up. This can happen either when I boot into xp or into Mandrake. The mouse just won't work. As I say, it's an intermittent problem. Doesn't happen all the time. I'm pretty confident that the mouse is OK, but will test it anyway.
What other possible causes might there be??
Cheers,
Gordon

Nah...sorry - what about checking your BIOS settings? I'm assuming that
you're plugging into a PS/2 mouse port, correct? If you have the BIOS
set for PNP OS's, you might be getting the intermittent problems from
that - miscommunication through the port...
