Mouse trouble with Mandrake 10.1 and a USB Logitech Optical

[Polishwonder74]

I've got a really weird mouse problem with Mandrake 10.1. Every time I restart I have to go into the configuration with my keyboard only and select my mouse. I select the auto USB mouse that is already selected, the mouse comes to life, and tests ok. I can log out and in again and the mouse stays ok, but does it all over again if I restart. This even happens if I log in as root and make the changes. It does the exact same thing even if I plug it in with it's little green PS/2 adapter.

Does anyone have any guesses as to why this is happening?

Thanks, guys!

:beer:

What mouse driver do you have setup in your X server configuration? The X server configuration is usually located at /etc/X11/Xorg.conf, /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or /etc/X11/XF86Config.

There should be a section in the X config like:

--

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

--

Before you change your X config, which mouse are you using now?

Edit: I just noticed 'USB Logitech Optical'. I'm using a Logitech USB G5 and the settings above work great for me. First paste what you have and I'll tell you whether you should change it or what to change...

Here's what I've got:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
