Hi I just installed Mandrake 8.0 and when prompted for a mouse type, having a PS/2 Mecer Wheelmouse and after I could not find a Mecer choice, I chose Generic PS/2 Wheelmouse. After installation, I was presented with the X login screen and found that the mouse pointer would not move and that the keyboard was frozen too. After a reboot, I was prompted for accepting new hardware found. I accepted, I think it actually said that it found a Generic PS/2 Mouse, and at the login prompt both the keyboard and mouse worked fine. I logged in using KDE. However, after powering down and up again, kudzu reported that a change in hardware was found and reported that the previous mouse detected can now not be found. I accepted the change, rebooted and found that it now never detects the mouse and always hangs at the login prompt. I rebooted in text console mode, and ran mousedrake. I chose Standard PS/2 mouse and rebooted, but still, it hangs. I then tried using an old serial 3 button Mecer mouse, and this works fine. Which type of mouse should I choose for the Mecer Wheelmouse, and how can I fix this problem? BTW, in the XF86Config file, under pointer section, the protocol is "PS/2". I read somewhere that for an Intellimouse, the protocol should be "IMPS/2". Would that be a solution for me?
Many thanks, Eugene
