Hello all, For the last two days, I have been trying to get RedHat 6.2 (Zoot) loaded. It goes ok for the most part, except for getting my mouse to function. I am installing on an older mini-tower with a P-90, 128 megs of RAM and a 3.2 gig HDD. As everything is starting up, I get a message that says (roughly) that the x startup failed and it is falling back to text mode. When I go from there, the mouse nevers seems to be picked up. The mouse is a generic 3 button serial mouse. The unit has two com ports, a nine pin and a 25 pin. I have tried it on both (using a 9 to 25 adapter on Com2). I have installed Windows 98 SE on this same unit and it picks up the mouse just fine. I ran a DOS based util that says the ports are there and ok. They also show on the BIOS boot screen. For grins, I grabbed a copy of Mandrake 7.0 on CD-ROM and created a boot disk with rawrite. I get the same response from it. So, I am really confused. The only thing that I can thing of is that this generic mouse is too generic and not recognized by the two Linux installs. Any suggestions or ideas as to getting it to work? The fact that both RH and Mandrake don't see it seems to be a real bit of coincidence. Thanks!
