| I slackware (with a KVM switch) my mouse doesn't work in the console. When I boot to xwin, regaurdless of which window manager I use, the mouse and keyboard quit working. I have tried 3 difference mice and still no luck. Anyone else had this problem with or without a kvm switch? |

| Yeah gpm is running. I isn't working though. When I move my mouse in console, my keyboard ceases to work.

| Ok, that was stupid of me. I have a USB mouse and had to use a ps/2 adapter to hook it up to the kvm switch. There's a setting in the bios for "ps/2 mouse support" All is well now I'm a happy slacker "Tyler Potenberg" <tpotenberg@verizon.net> wrote in message news:R9Fic.34942$Aq.33787@nwrddc03.gnilink.net... > I slackware (with a KVM switch) my mouse doesn't work in the console.
