I don't use the mouse on the ttys and suspect a big part of the problem is there since many suggestions centered on removing the console mouse drivers (gpm). You might try stopping and restarting gpm (is it still that on 10.1?) and see if the problem goes away, but that's just a workaround to the problem. I think the long term solution is to replace the KVM. I haven't gotten around to doing the research as I'm also looking for one with a better video - I run a high resolution display and the KVM does muddy it noticeably.

Re: [newbie] Odd mouse behaviour in 10.1
I was wondering if you might have any insights into a similar issue that I'm experiencing. I was running Mandrake 10.1 Official download version with no mouse problems whatsoever but I decided to finally do my bit and signed up for Mandrake Club. Long story, short, I downloaded the PowerPack DVD ISO, checked the md5sum, burned it, and installed it. And then, althoughthe keyboard worked fine, things got weird with the mouse. At first the mouse cursor was frozen but I went into MCC and selected the mouse selection that's always worked for me before, Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse. At this point the test dialogue came up and regardless of what I tried to do, the mouse basically freaked out. If I hit the left button, the driver thought I was hitting both the left button and the wheel. Attempts to move the cursor resulted in chaos; I can't even describe what all went on. I then tried other selections in MCC similar results. After reading your post below, I tried your suggestion for lilo. That seemed to fix my mouse but I noticed that the displays on my tty's (alt-F1-6) were trashed out so I backed it out for now. I don't know if it's pertinent or not, but when I looked at my XF86Config, I noticed that the installation had automatically select the nvidia driver versus the nv drive I was running with the download version of Mandrake 10.1. Below is the stanza related to the mouse: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 EndSection At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I tried messing with the ZAxisMapping settings because I vaguely remembered seeing something about that somewhere. Yes, desperation was setting in. I should mention that my mouse is actually a Logitech cordless Trackman Wheel that is connected through a KVM switch. I don't know if any of that's a problem or not, but I've run it that way with every version of Mandrake since 9.x without an issue. I would like to retain the comfort and convenience of this set up if at all possible. If anybody has anything to suggest, I would be very grateful.

Dumb question time... 1: By USB to PS2 adapter, do you mean one of the adapters that come with some mice to let you plug a USB/PS2 mouse in a PS2 poet, or an adapterer that gives you a PS2 port on a USB connection? 2: If you are plugging into a PS2 port, did the adpater come with the mouse, or is it from a different mouse? 3: Has the mouse ever worked with this setup? The reasion I ask is that the adapters that let you plug a USB mouse into a PS2 port only work with mice designed to be used that way. From what I understand, they just connect the PS2 power and data connections to the power and data lines on the USB connector, and don't do anything else.

I cant answer all of your questions but I'try. Tom Karen Pino wrote: This all sounds interesting. There are a couple of problems. Many of these problems are due to my ignerce. As in what is urpmi? urpmi may be the most valuable program you have for now. It is mdk's package maintainence system. It downloads a package with all required dependences (most of the time) it works with the rpm package maintenance system sort of as a wrapper that does some of the things you would have to do. Generally it works well but there are times when it screws up. It works better with -wget but the default is curl if you involke it with 'urpmi -wget package' I like the results better. See man urpmi urpmf urpme. I dont think there is a windows version. I looked that up and am now really confused. However, Lorin seems to get something out of the fine info I am gleaning from you fine folks. This last caused confusion to both of us. Lorin has the advantage of a linux system (even if it doesn't seem to work right). The linujx system cannot work right without urpmi working you need it to update whatever installation you have. You must realize that all linux systems depend on their users (maybe not IBM) to detect problems with the distribution and there are always problems with the distribution. I am running 10.0 Official and have updated approx 1GB so far. He has installed rpm drake which sounds handy. He looked up gpm and rpm and seemed to understand that. It seems that the libgpm stuff was not installed because of a failure to auto detect his mouse. He thinks that he got it installed. Not knowing which mouse you have it would be difficult to help with this. FWIW I have a wheel mouse with 3 buttons. Here if my configuration of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (the mouse portion) Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 EndSection This is unlikely to work for you unless you have a simular mouse. Do you remember during installation when you configured the country, time zone, mouse, etc. That is where you should have configured it. You can now use MCC to configure the mouse. Double click on the star flag on the desktop select configure in the lower left hand corner and enter your root password then explore you should find the mouse under hardware or system. The mouse still does not work and he seems to have screwed up the number key pad being used as the moving force for his cursor. He can figure that out I am sure. Thats the tough way. I do not think that the urpmi stuff will help him yet as he is not online as the modem has not been detected either and he wants to figure out the mouse problem first. Did you upgrade from windows? If so you probably have a winmodem and it is very tough to get one of those working. You would be waaay ahead to trash it and purchase an external real modem for as little as $18.00 up. The difference is a Winmodem is missing a chip. That chip is a controller chip which windows uses the cpu to replace making the cpu work harder and downloads slower as a result. A modem with a controller chip is called a Real Modem or A Hardware Modem or sometimes an External Modem but not a USB modem. I went to the easy urpmi site and can't understand what they ae talking about. Remember that I am using Win98 (be kind). What the devil do they mean by type this in a console (I can wrap my brain around the as root part). Console? They mean a Terminal clear. Go to the linux system click on the Star on the left of the taskbar when the menu pops up go to Systems and click on Terminal thats what they mean There is also on my task bar a TV screen(in black white) that is the same thing. It is easyer to set up the Terminal/Console to su root password first it will appear in the taskbar then go to easyurpmi set everything up and move the cursor to the first letter in type this in a console press left button and while continuing holding down the left button highlight the entire message. Then recall the Terminal/Console you previously set up and press button 2 or 13 together, That should do it but sometimes its necessary to hit enter. After that urpmi should be working and everything should be present. It would be better to do this on a week day since some of the mirrors can go flaky and it appears they are not well maintained over the weedend. Lorin is also getting a notice on loading that loading default keymap failed. Does this have anything to do with the mouse problem or is it some other problem altogether?

Typical MS crap. Thanks, Tom Welcome Tom, Can't provide you with exact settings for this mouse, but have him try this: At the boot manager prompt (I assume he's installed with lilo), press Esc to get the boot prompt, then type: linux init 3 That will boot the machine without starting X - i.e. command line only. Login as root and then type: drakconf That will produce a menu including mouse selection - probably under hardware. It's been a while since both 9.1 and using this interface for me, so I'm unable to be more specific. Hopefully that will at least get a start on fixing the problem.

I found that if I did not move the mouse at all from the time bootup started until the login screen was fully displayed the problem would not appear at all if I did move the mouse to soon the problem would be intermittant.

When I hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple items, my mouse pointer teleports after the first couple of selections: I'll select something, and my pointer will suddenly appear in another, seemingly random part of the screen. Quite annoying, and makes for incorrect selections if I am not extremely careful. The behavior has survived restarts of KDE and my X server, as well as outright reboots of the machine. This has only been a problem for a couple of days; I've been running this installation of KDE since late December 2003. To my recollection, I haven't upgraded/reconfigured/installed/etc. anything related to KDE or X which might account for the glitch.

In my case, one is used by my modem and one by my UPS. Another reason may be that the time is past when every desktop computer has two serial ports, one parallel port, and a floppy drive. In the FWIW department: Last spring I replaced my faithful old Logitech mouse with an optical one (also Logitech). Mandrake immediately recognized it with zero effort on my part.

Re: [newbie] Wheel mouse and laptop?
On Thursday 16 January 2003 09:21 am, Terry Sheltra wrote: I was curious ... I have a Dell Latitude C610, and use a PS/2 wheel mouse while I'm at work. When I'm at home, I have to plug in a PS/2 mouse to use. If I try to use the glidepad, the mouse behaves VERY erratically (i.e. it clicks for no apparent reason, pointer seems to camp out in the lower left corner). Any suggestions on how I may go about remedying the situation? Things work well if I change my mouse to say just a generic PS/2 mouse, but I would love to keep the wheel funtion if I'm able to. Thanks! People curse and fix it according to one vehement linux critic. The problem is 3-button emulation which is in effect for most notebook internals. That kills the wheel mouse. If you properly install the wheel mouse then the erratic normal mouse is observed. There is a small statement in 9.0 errata about that one. http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/90errata.php3 Error scenario: When changing the mouse protocol from PS2 (simple PS2 mouse) to IMPS2 (PS2 wheel mouse), the mouse goes crazy. Why: Not really known; for some the mouse goes back to normal when using the wheel during the mouse test (as the installer asks with the MOVE YOUR WHEEL message). With some mice, this does not seem to work. Solution: Format a floppy disk with a DOS filesystem (in Linux, you can use the command mkdosfs /dev/fd0). Copy patch.pl to the floppy disk. Remove the floppy and reboot using the Mandrake Linux 9.0 CD1 to do a CD-ROM installation. During boot, press F1 at the splash screen, then place your floppy disk that contains patch.pl in the floppy drive. At the prompt, type patch, then follow the installation as usual. And of course the problem is ALSO notebooks in general. The hardware is not exactly standard, and the drivers for windows are generally customized by the notebook maker to avoid little annoyances like this. When you have a manufacturer of notebooks offering linux preinstalled, it is likely that this little annoyance will not be evident. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Scroll mouse, Windows XP mounts, Fonts, Geforce 3
-=Eric=- wrote: Ok, I'm new to the list so please take it easy on me. :-) I have a few questions for the list please: 1.How can I get my scroll mouse to work? I'm using KDE as my windows manager. Go into the Control Center, select Hardware then Mouse. Cilck on the type of mouse and test if it works. Most scroll mice should work OK, though your brand may not be listed - try something like generic scroll mouse if it isn't. 2.I would like to have my Windows XP partitions mounted when starting KDE. I would love to have a simple icon (two actually, for my 2 XP partitions) on my desktop so I can easily get to my files. I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of NTFS, but FAT partitions are detected automatically. 9.0 by default uses supermount, so you shouldn't need to mount them. To create an icon, you can right click on the desktop and fill in the appropriate details. Depending on how you partitioned your disk, they will be something like /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 3. I read on a website a while back how to make the fonts more like those of (gulp) Windoze. I'm looking for something that's easy to read. I feel the default fonts used in KDE leave something to be desired. They are hard to read when viewing websites. Again, from the Control Center, choose System then Fonts, then click Get Windows Fonts. You can choose which fonts KDE uses from the KDE Control Center (not to be confused with the Mandrake one). Enabling anti-aliasing in KDE may improve the look of things. 4. When installing Mandrake 9.0, it said something about my Geforce 3 but I think it said something about generic drivers. Should they be generic drivers or should I attempt to install something else? The generic drivers work, but won't give you much if anything in the way of 3D acceleration. You can download and install nVidia's own drivers from their site (they aren't included in the Mandrake distro because they're closed source). If you have any problems instaling them, check previous posts on the subject in the archives of this list. Thanks for your time and any help is appreciated. You're welcome!

Re: [newbie] Scroll mouse, Windows XP mounts, Fonts, Geforce 3
I would rather stay away from fat32 file format. Read-only is acceptable for me. I can just save it in Linux and when I boot back into Windoze I can grab the files I need.
