Hello!

I have no mouse functionality in Anaconda.

The mouse is "PS/2 Compatible Mouse".

Just before the graphic mode switches, the text "Generic 3 - Button
Mouse (PS/2)" is printed.

Any assistance will be much appreciated.

I have a somewhat related problem...my belkin PS/2 trackball isn't
really embraced too well by FC1...did one install, it gave me fits.
Another install, it is working better.  It doesn't always work
well...especially horizontal movements, I have had to move vertically
in order to make a horizontal move.  Not to impose on this post, but I
had also chosen 'generic 3 button' so maybe the two things are
somewhat related....any info is appreciated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make a trackball operate
better?  I am about ready to pull my hair out and go to some other
type of mouse (any suggestions for FC that works great pls let me
know).  With the trackball, you have to get a 'running start' on the
screen, then of course you overshoot your destination.  Small precise
movements are hell.  This is exactly the *opposite* of what I was
hoping to achieve!  Funny this worked fine with RH8  &  9....I always
just take the default selection for generic three button and it would
be ok.

When I run redhat-config-mouse I get some choices but none for my
belkin trackball.  Is there a trick or something else good that I can
substitute?  I am thinking maybe 'kensington' which seems a little
closer than some of the other choices.  Does anyone know what exactly
it is detecting, surely it isn't actual manufacturer identifiers,
probably just the general type of device anyway.  I will continue to
play with this but as it is my only system at the moment I don't want
to hose it.  :)

Any information or guidance is greatly appreciated.

My Kensington Expert Mouse <http://www.kensington.com/html/2200.html> trackball worked properly from day one. All 4 buttons and scroll wheel. Nice big optical ball.


Now if I could only get one at work.

It installed as a mouse, not a trackball. I think it listed as a three button mouse. It is at home and I would have to check.

Try a generic mouse configuration.
