The fine people in the 'General' forum weren't able to help, perhaps followers of 'Installation' can help?

I purchased a dragon from the fine people at StormLogic/mythic.tv and had no problem with using the accompanying wireless USB keyboard's built-in mouse. That was with r5f27.

Since upgrading to r5.5, the mouse no longer works. I've also tried plugging in a PS/2 mouse, also tried a corded USB mouse (rebooting each time), but to no avail.

My googles and forum searches have come up empty. I tried to track down the problem through log files, no luck. It did appear as though there should be a mousedev module, but when I do lsmod, no such module appears. Perhaps this is a red herring.

Can anyone please help me to troubleshoot this issue?

Thank you kindly,
Alain.

With all those fine people, surely you would expect a response :-)

What do the X log files say about it? Try "dmesg grep mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

You probably have no response because you haven't been specific enough about the issue. What sort of mouse is it? What does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf say about the mouse it has configured, if any?

I did get a couple of responses, but I'd tried those suggestions already. Humour towards my perhaps overt politeness noted, though. ;-)

After looking through those files, I've found the culprit. The ServerLayout section of the xorg.conf file had:

InputDevice "Serial Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"

and the Xorg.0.log file complained about there being two corepointer devices. I commented out the first, restarted X, success!

Thanks mm for steering me in the right direction.

Alain.
