| 256842 | 2004-07-31 01:45:00 | I logged into SuSE this morning to try out WineX but when I hit the numlock key to type in my numeric password the mouse locked. I tried not using the keypad to log in, but as soon as it hits kde, it locks up and I can't move the mouse at all. Everything else, however is fine... I also tried using gnome but to no avail. I cannot remember anything that I changed to make it spas out like this. Anyone know the keys in SuSE 9.0 to open the control center? Cheers Will |

| 256844 | 2004-07-31 11:54:00 | It looks to me as if you somehow have the wrong mouse driver loaded. I expect you will be booting to the GUI? (run level 5). I am not a GRUB expert but somehow you need to load Linux at the command shell only (see portal.suse.com). With the LILO boot loader you go CTRL X and type Linux 3 for run level 3 (no GUI). Once there, log in as root and run the command shell version of YaST (just type YaST) - find the mouse configuration and change the mouse type. Hope this helps. |

| 256845 | 2004-07-31 11:56:00 | If you can get to a command shell window without the mouse you can start YaST there without having to reboot. | JohnD (509) | ||
| 256846 | 2004-08-01 04:28:00 | Ctrl/Alt/Backspace will stop the X-Window server, so you should be able to use yast from there. | Graham L (2) | ||
