Re: Mouse problem in XWindows

[sanjay chaudary <sanjay_chigurupati@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi  Karan ,
            what  was  the  model  which  u  selected  for  ur  mouse 
under
 XF86Config ?  Check  documentation , I  am  not  sure  but  there 
maybe a
 problem  with  ps/2 mice ,  I am  not  certain .  

 I  think  u  should  set  ur  mouse  as  PS/2   model and  not 
Microsoft .

 Hope  this  helps.
