Quite angry with a constant mouse problem with 10.1

[George Harrison]

I've tried installing Mandrake 10.1 twice now with the same results. The install goes quite nicely and everything is fine. I reboot to run Mandrake and my mouse then refuses to work. I've chosen a generic PS2 mouse and a specific PS2 Wheel mouse and nothing seems to work. When it comes up it brings me to a survey it wants me to take and my mouse refuses to move. The funny thing is that I have tested my mouse in the configuration menu and everything was in order. I am rather dissapointed with Mandrake.

George,
Have you tried setting it up in MCC after you install?

Uhh... I'm slow. What's MCC?

I've tried configuring my mouse after the install if that's what you mean. I've tried choosing two different types of mice. Once PS2 Generic and a PS2 Wheel mouse. As I have stated earlier; during the configuration I even tested to make sure it worked and it did so I don't know what's going on here.

It's all that Indian Opium, George!!

MCC is Mandrake Control Center. Check this out. Do any of those solutions work?

lol, good one. He was pretty into the whole indian thing, he played the sitar.


Thanks for the link I'll read it over.

Hmm.. off to put Mandrake back on, I know the problem now.

I set my security level to "Paranoid" and the mouse doesn't like to work if you set it to anything higher than "Standard". Thanks again for that link.

I had the exact same problem. Thanks for getting that. Does anyone know how to change the security setting without the mouse. I dont feel like reinstalling mandrake.

chkconfig --add udev

Worked for me

Now I just gotta get it to recognise the 5 button
