You have to configure the mouse with the keyboard before touching the mouse.

Re: [Cooker] Panoramix failed on x configuration
I re-installed cooker with the old installer and installed XF86Setup. It now no longer works at all, no matter what I do. The IMPS/2 mouse is not recognized and causes the mouse cursor to activate the button in the top right corner. I made a bug report 6 weeks ago about this. I think I'm going to put Linux away for a few months and check back in the new year.

Yes. Both worked fine. The only GUI error was the ghostscript problem and an initial "permission denied" with my mirrored cooker files. Used "mirror" to mirror cooker to /usr/local/cooker. > >So the generated XF86Config isn't nice with your poor mouse... >Could you try > >perl -ne 'print if /"Pointer/ .. /Device/' /etc/X11/XF86Config > >and tell what's wrong? The config file is OK for the mouse. It just became unusable during the test of the x configuration during panormix install only. It worked after I did two cr's to accept the failed x configuration.

My card used to work fine several months ago with the XFree86-SVGA. I manually added the noblt about 4 versions ago to make it work. (BTW, what is the proper name for that option???) BUT, with this option, moving windows or scrolling is not nice and smooth, like in Windows.

So the generated XF86Config isn't nice with your poor mouse... Could you try perl -ne 'print if /"Pointer/ .. /Device/' /etc/X11/XF86Config and tell what's wrong? as for the option, you mean adding `` Option "noblt"' ? The best would be to patch /usr/lib/X11/Cards but that's quite tough (needs a regeneration of XFree86 rpm's (chmouel?)) another solution would be a hack somewhere else in the XFdrake code... i'm looking at it... cu Pixel.
[Cooker] Panoramix failed on x configuration
It appears that XFree still screws up my GD5446 video card. In addition, my IMPS/2 mouse went nuts at this time (this is new). Unfortunately. I was unable to fix XF86Config because neither emacs or joe were available. I don't know vi and was unable to make sense of the help files so I can't fix it. (vi is too crunchy ;-) ) I also cannot run XF86Setup with a linux 3 boot. File not found. How come the path has not been set? I could fudge this setup to get it to write a good enough XF86Config file. BTW, I reported the problem with the GD5446 several times over the last month. The fix (although it is not a very nice one) is to set Options "no_blt" in the device section for the video card.
