 |
|
Hi!
After a while when I run X the mouse locks to the left of the screen... I can move it up and down but not to the right...
I have tested to use both "Mouse" and "evdev" mouse drivers. The "nv", both stable and beta "nvidia" drivers. But nothing seems to work...
I get the problem in both xfce4 and fluxbox so I don't think it's the wm.
Any body got a clue what I can do to get it work right? |

Nirtal,
Check in a console (not xterm) that you can see mouse events when you run | Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
and move the mouse side to side. Repeat after its failed.
If the mouse events are missing here after the failure, its a kernel problem, not Xorg.
You may want to use the console mouse driver to test with. if you don't have console mose and set it up.

| I did the cat /dev/input/mice line and moved my mouse around. I did have some output on the screen with ((888 so on and so on etc.... So I see that it's working but when I try to run the X -config /root/xorg.conf.new line to try and get X to come up I still get Mouse0: cannot open input deve /dev/mouse. |
