I just got the other computer working again and i put Fedora Core 2 on it but theres a problem. It wont recongnize my mouse at all. Not in installation or in the actual desktop... it doesnt even know its there. It says No - Mouse.... does anyone know how i can fix this?
What type of mouse is it ? model? Brand? USB? PS/2?
Have you tested this mouse on another computer?
have you tried using another mouse in the same port?
Try running mouseconfig, if it is on your system, to setup gpm, the Linux mouse server.
Then configure xorg.conf as necessary.
Its a Canon PS/2 Mouse and it works on my current computer... altough i have it running through a old serial adapter because all my old computer has is the old serial hook up... is this a problem?
I've done that in the past and never had any problems. Just configure the mouse as a serial mouse.
