FC4 and message mouse configuration

Suddenly (before there was no problem) I started FC4 and I received this message:



The mouse that I have got is USB Toshisba Mini Optical Mouse.i.e it is a mouse that stopped working suddnely?



I googled and I found this

I followed the steps without any success.

I can not find the proper answer for the below poped windows:


When I clicked yes, another window poped up :



but i could not find the name of the mouse that I have got!

I tried couple selections, but all of them did not work

I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf,,,,I found this :



I checked dmesg |more ,,,,I found this:

that means that you are going to need to use a generic mouse driver. so if your mouse plugs into the ps/2 port and has 3 buttons (left/right click and scroll), then you'd choose generic - 3 button mouse (ps/2). if your mouse connects via usb, you'd choose that option.


you said before there was no problem you got an error message that the x server couldn't be started? was this right after the install? did you ever get to a desktop or are you stuck in CL? was FC4 working and then this just "suddenly" happened or have you had such problems since you installed?

Did you mean I have to chosse this "generic - 3 button mouse (ps/2)" for my current USB optical mouse (mine is USB the option that you have stated is PS/2) ?


No, It was ok after installation.


Yes I was able to get to the desktop, I have not stuck in command line.


One day while FC4 in the process of booting my friend unplug the mouse from the USB port, then the problem started.

..no? i said if you have a usb mouse, you'd choose the usb option instead of ps/2. i was just using ps/2 as an example. did you try going into the preferences or system settings and re-selecting your mouse? and have you tried plugging in a ps/2 mouse to see if thatd work? and if it does, restart and re-plug in your usb mouse & take out the ps/2 and see if it works then.

I can not access the GUI environment.


I will try this.


That means in my case I have to use "generic - 3 button mouse (USB)" for the mini optical mouse that I have got which are 2 buttons and wheel.

As far as i remember I have alreday this option , but I have to try it again

ahhh....i think i see the problem. in the mouse section of your xorg.conf file, there is no device parm. i also have a usb mouse, but here's my mouse section from my xorg.conf file:

so try adding option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" , save it , restart the computer and see what happens.

It did not work.

Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and we can see if there are any blatant errors.
