Not sure where to start looking, but my mouse doesn't work in KM. It's a wireless KB and Mouse combo, the keyboard works fine, the mouse used to work when I had Ubuntu installed. So it's not hardware (has new batteries too). Just not sure where to start looking to get it working in KM. I always figured it should just 'work'. Unfortunately, that's not the case.

Just checked, it's an x805.

I have a mouse cursor on the screen...it just won't move...? Very strange.

Ok, so I'm thinking maybe the mouse is recognized, since the pointer appears, but something is not configured properly.

Would that be in /etc/X11/XF86Config.in ?

Code:
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "@@PROTOCOL@@"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"
    Emulate3Buttons
    Emulate3Timeout    70
EndSection


Where would @@PROTOCOL@@ be set?

Or maybe it's xorg.conf

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"

# PS/2 Mouse not detected
# Serial Mouse not detected
    Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection


Which doesn't seem right, since I'm pretty sure the Mouse is connected by PS/2

But then later there is this
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option         "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "USB Mouse"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option         "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "Buttons" "5"
EndSection


So do I just change that first section to this?
Code:
    InputDevice    "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"


I'm not at home to test any of this...but if I'm on the right track, it would be good to know :)

hmmm, not really sure where to start... I've never seen a mouse that didn't work unless it was a hardware fault.

One thing you could try is to open a terminal and:

cat /dev/input/mouse0

then move the mouse around, on mine it outputs a load of garbage every time the mouse moves. If it outputs a load of rubbish then i would guess the mouse works but theres some kind of config problem.
