First, thank you for the quick response. I ran gpmconfig and that seemed to work: it found the mouse and detected the motion and button clicks. Is there a program I can use to test this? I also edited /etc/vga/libvga.config. I commented out the mouse unconfigured line and uncommented the mouse ps/2 line. I saved the file and re-ran vga_solitaire, but still no mouse.
My mouse port is a PS/2 port (big connector, 5 pins), but my mouse is a Microsoft mouse (small connector, 6 pins). I use an adapter to make it work. Is this a factor?
