Optic-Mouse problems

Hey. Nice to be here. I have a problem with a fresh SuSE Install [proffesional, money down] - in KDE. My optic mouse, on PS/2 - a Genius mouse, works in terminal/failsafe - but when i give the "startx" / "startkde" command, after the mouse loads, i have no power to move the mouse. It just sits in the center of the screen. I can control my keyboard.

I have no ideea where the problem is. Any of you?

RE: Optic-Mouse problems

Problably the wrong mouse driver in you xorg.conf file, or as happened to me one time, the wrong device location. I had the old /dev/psaux/ when Debian changed it to /dev/input/mice in my XFree86-4.conf.

the fix

Well, i've experimented with Gentoo lately, on a modular X11, so it seems that if i comment the Optin "Device" "/dev/mouse" from the xorg.conf file, the mouse works. I don't understand these kind of behavior, but nontheless.

Fedora and other distributions come with an already configured xorg.conf file, and that really is a problem from users that have Genius Optical Mouse, on the ps/2 port, which is not properly detected by X.
