mouse problem on Redhat Enterprise
Good morning, I have a switch console (Belkin) which enable me to use only one mouse and one keyboard for a windows machine and a linux box. I'm having a problem with the mouse (ps/2) on linux box (RedHat Enterprise). Rehat can recognize it, but I just can't move cursor around as I intend to. This mouse works well on the windows machine. The same thing described above happened to another working mouse. So my feeling is that the problem has nothing to do with the mouse itself. Any suggestion as to how to make it work on Redhat? Thanks Zhao ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
[fixed] mouse problem on Redhat Enterprise
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I deleted old mouse setting during the boot-up and it then automatically re-configured the mouse setting, and now it works. Thanks, Zhao ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

While you solved your problem, I have a question. I currently have a 4 port Linksys PS/2 KVM. I was thinking of getting a 2-port USB KVM for a number of reasons. Belkin has a KVM with built-in cables. Is your switch console a KVM or is it a physical switch. Regarding the Belkin KVM units, what is the procedure for switching. On the Cybex units, there is a ctrl-ctrl-# sequence. On the Linksys, ctrl-alt-shift-# (In general, I avoid Belkin products). -- Jerry Feldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

It varies from model to model, but they seem to like using [Scroll Lock] as an attention key, followed by the digit key for the channel number (or two digit keys for bank, channel for units that support cascading). (In general, I avoid Belkin products). Their KVMs do tend to be rather flaky. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I'm having a problem with the mouse (ps/2) on linux box (RedHat Enterprise). You solved your problem, but... I recently encountered an issue with CentOS 4.2 (RHEL clone) and some no-name KVM switch. It appears the 2.6 kernel has more sophisticated built-in mouse support (to facilitate USB support), but that something about it does not get along some KVM switches. Symptoms included: - Totally erratic mouse pointer movement after switching away and back to the Linux box - Kernel error messages in syslog about lost synchronization and throwing bytes away The fix was to add the following kernel command line parameters to the boot loader: psmouse.resetafter=10 psmouse.proto=bare A reboot was required to put those changes into effect. Linux really is just like Windows now. You have moved your mouse. You must reboot for this change to take effect. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
