 |
|
Suddenly (before there was no problem) I started FC4 and I received this message:
| Quote: |
I can not start the X server (your graphical interface). It seems that the pointer (your mouse) is not setup correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose
|
The mouse that I have got is USB Toshisba Mini Optical Mouse.i.e it is a mouse that stopped working suddnely?
I googled and I found this
https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2005-June/msg00155.html
I followed the steps without any success.
I can not find the proper answer for the below poped windows:

Would you like me to try to run the mouse configuration program? Note that you will need the root password for this.
|
When I clicked yes, another window poped up :
| Code: |
Mouse Selection
Select the appropriate mouse for the system
Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (PS/2)
Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (USB)
Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (Serial)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (PS/2)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (USB)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (Serial)

but i could not find the name of the mouse that I have got!!!!!
I tried couple selections, but all of them did not work
I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf,,,,I found this :
| Code: |
Section "Input Device"
Identifier "Mouse 0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
|
I checked dmesg |more ,,,,I found this:
| Code: |
mice: [u]PS/2[/u] mouse device common for all mice

Have you tried another mouse? if it's just stopped working, with no changes to your software, it could well be a hardware failure.
You don't appear to have a Device line in xorg.conf. It should be something like
| Code: | | Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
