Newbie needs Help - Mouse hangs in S.u.S.E. X-Windows

Post by Rob Maso » Mon, 14 Sep 1998 04:00:00



Help!!!!  I have installed SuSE Linux OK, but the mouse will only work
intermitantly within XFree86 windows.  I have tried various mouse
protocols (it is a genuiine Microsoft Serial Mouse) but the same symptom
keeps appearing - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!  I suspect a
conflict with the text based mouse cursor (some sort of daemon starts
when Linux boots).

This driving me mad.  Thanks in advance

1. Got Viper 770 to work with X-Windows, but still need mouse HELP..!!

First the good news.....

To get the Viper 770 to work I downloaded the following file from NVidia's
website

Riva-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386-dyn.tar.gz

.........gunzip and then tar the file.....run the script  " ./riva_install
".....once that finishes,..go back and run XF86Setup

For a "Card"...I choose "Riva TNT"......8bpp,.......640X480.....and it seems
to work.......

...EXCEPT....my mouse really freaks out....it just moves to the upper right
corner and doesnt respond....

Anyone know how to get a Microsoft Intellimouse (ps2) to work under these
conditions....
