Thanks, I have checked the archives, and appended psmouse.proto=imps to the kernel line and reboot. No difference. (It also suggested using psmouse module command, but I cannot locate the psmouse command.) By the way, I did say that I even tried reinstalling the OS (FC2) from scratch. The mouse didn't work even during the installation process. Afterwards, the hour glass appears during the log in sequence, but it does not respond to the mouse movement. But when I reboot into RH EL 3 or even XP, the mouse works fine on this multi-booting system....

If this is an upgrade from FC1 to FC2 remember that the path to the mouse device has changed. And there have been some changes in the protocol stuff. Also there have been some tinkering because of keyboard/video/mouse selector tangles. For the last it is important to know which kernel you are running. So where else to look == archives. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
