I forget who sent me a private email. gmail, imap,  deletion before I  
saved it.


The commands that were sent were;

modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse

fixed my issue. Thanks to everyone.

PS/2 or USB?

If USB, you can try unplugging/replugging the mouse.

Are you running GPM; if so, you can try /etc/init.d/gpm restart.

You might try unloading/reloading any mouse/USB-related modules.

Do you actually have to reboot, or will a restart of X fix it? Or have 
you tried starting a second session of X to see if it works there? Or in 
the console (assuming you have GPM installed)?

Now I remember why I have gmail on mail lists. never saw my email. :-(

USB, I think. It sits plugged in behind the KVM switch. But will try  
that. Not sure if I tried unplugging/plugging back in.


I will look at gpm as well.

I've tried exiting out of X, stopping GDM/KDM, but that does not work.

Mine had been getting intermintent for a while.  Last night it pretty
much quit and I wound up pulling about three years of accumulated lint
out of it.  It's a Logitech and the wheel lifted out easily so I could
clean out the space between the wheel and sensors.

En el XF86Config-4, en la sección mouse, pon una entrada así:
Section InputDevice
   Identifier  Configured Mouse
   Driver  mouse
   Option  CorePointer
   Option  Device/dev/psaux
   Option  Protocol  PS/2
   Option  Emulate3Buttons   true
   Option  ZAxisMapping  4 5

Y in la sección layout elige este mouse

Con eso debería funcionar.

Yes, you can manually edit (with ae, or vim, or vi, or mcedit, or emacs, 
or nano, or joe, or etc etc etc) the main X configuration file, which is 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. What Crispin suggested may or may not fix the 
problem; it's definitely a good start, but as several replies have 
already suggested, you haven't really provided enough information for us 
to do any more than make guesses.


If Crispin's suggestion doesn't solve the problem, send us the contents 
of the two files /etc/gpm.conf and /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
