Hi all, Im a fair old newbie to Linux and all its workings, but since I upgraded my computer Ive had this problem
Ive tried all of these distros of Linux, but every one has had the same problem:
Redhat 9.0
FreeBSD 4.8
College Linux 2.3
Lycoris build_46
Mandrake 9.1
Slackware 9.0
Debian 3.0r1
The problem is as follows:
During the installation of Linux (whichever distro) all appears to work fine, but as soon I as log into any GUI, the mouse doesnt work. There is no response from it. Ive tried using a basic 2 button PS/2 mouse, even reverted to an old Serial mouse, but nothing. My normal one is a Hewlett Packard optical USB.
If anyone has any information about why this is, or how to fix it, I would be most grateful
My hardware specs are my signature, so no need to retype
