Same here, except unplugging the mouse and then plugging it again works.

It happens when ddcprobe *nearly* works: EISA_ID is there, but not the horiz and vert refresh rates. in your case, DrakX should have been able to get them from MonitorsDB. i'm going to fix all these cases. thanks!
Re: [Cooker] Beta3 install problem in XF86 Configuration
Now that I'm back in the office, I just did a re-install and recreated the problem. The two files you requested are attached. The problem seems to be with the default monitor selection of "Plug-n-Play". If that is changed then it works. - Bruce Pixel wrote: >"Bruce A.

Well, i forgot if this was true of beta1 (actually, on most beta1 installs i specified no aurora or didnt mess with it) but on beta2 with the cds it had the prob and an ftp install shortly after (almost entirely sure no upload in between, that came after) i could unselect the newstyle once i had selected the trad (for obvious reasons). Then after the latest upload it had the prob, but on a very recent ftp install I dont recall the problem. Next install i will test for sure, but i am fairly sure already.

Ok, can you see what is installed on such case (on Aurora basis at least), is this the same package all the time which are selected. François.

Re: [Cooker] Beta3 Install on machine with Voodoo 3 card.
Here i report another bug in 7.2 beta 3 iso : accentuated characters in French are not correct in helvetica 12 points (but in roman, they are correct in bold). Curiously, they are correct at the installation. But if you change fonts in the control center and then return back to helvetica 12 points, they are not correct anymore ! Eric Fernandez

I have a Voodoo3 2000 PCI & it was set up automatically - even to the extent of asking if I wanted to install Glide - I think the installation must see your ATI card, or have some conflict with it. Is there a jumper on your Motherboard to turn it off (there is for my SiS intergrated video), or some way to disable it in your BIOS? -WBD
