I just installed the Mandrake 7.0.2 I bought from Linux System Labs,
and now I have no mouse in X.
To explain further: I had no mouse during the install, because I have
an unused PS/2 port (I use ttyS0), and both Corel Linux and Mandrake
assume I'm using the PS/2. That part is OK, and I expect not to have
a mouse when I boot the first time. I edit XF86Config, replacing the
"PS/2" with "Microsoft" and "/dev/psaux" with "/dev/ttyS0". That works
for Corel, but it didn't work for Mandrake.
In my initial install of Mandrake 6.1, it asked me what kind of mouse
I had, and I didn't even have to do the fiddling described above. But
this second install was an update, and the install program skipped the
mouse step.
How can I get my mouse functioning again?
