afterwards, I kind of remember doing this myself.


I use cordless logitech keyboard and mouse, only caveat is it doesn't start working till X starts, but I keep a junker keyboard connected as well.

From my xorg.conf, xorg replaced xfree in FC2.

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection

i have the exactly same settings in my xorg.conf.

and yes, the mouse works, and worked fine in rh8, rh9, fc1 :)

weird...

If you have the /dev/input/mice information included in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, which is needed for ps2 mice using the 2.6 kernels that are compiled for Fedora, you might have to add this to your grub.conf file. I guess it reorders the process orders loaded during the kernel initializing. This helps synaptic touchpads, maybe it will help w/ your troubles with these ps2 mice.

add psmouse.proto=imps to your grub.conf file. Note the below example. I'm running a test installation, so don't copy in whole. This may or may not resolve your problem.

example:
title Fedora Core (2.6.8-1.541)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.541 ro root=LABEL=/  psmouse.proto=imps
        initrd /initrd-2.6.8-1.541.img
