Changing Mouse Type

[Kilo]

Hi all.

I've recently set up a Fedora box, and when I did I had a serial mouse conencted to it. During installation, it detected a serial mouse, and I "okayed" this, and all was well.

Until..... I managed to sever the mouse lead in two in a fantastic display of brute force and ignorance. So this morning I went out and bought a nice shiny new mouse. This is a PS2 effort.

So how the hell do I, without the aid of a mouse, tell the machine to respond to the PS2 port for mouse input?

I don't want to have to reinstall for this!

Thanks in advance,

Kilo.

During the boot process Kudzu compares the hardware database and probably will detect that you no longer have a mouse on the serial port and will ask you to remove "or not" the config files. It will also detect the new one on the PS2 port and ask you to configure it.
Another way is simply running on a shell the following: "redhat-config-mouse"
Hope this helps:rolleyes:

Hi Linuxmad.

It didn't automatically sort itself on reboot, but the redhat-config-mouse command you suggested has fixed it a treat.

Many thanks,

Kilo.
