I got a new mother board (ASUS M2NBP) and was eager to get Fedora 8
x64 working on it ... the install went great but ....
During the boot up process I have a mouse, works great. However, when
X starts the mouse goes away.
Here is my xorg.conf file (I had to add the mouse configuration lines):
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" # I added this line
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice" # I added this section
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
############### end of xorg.file #############
It seems as though the X configuration tool is not seeing the mouse.
When I switch to run level 4 the console mouse works as expected. I
get the same results with a PS2 mouse. I've googled and googled but
after several hours I have found nothing that will help. I am hoping
someone on this list can point me in the right direction.
