Hi folks,

FedoraCore3

Just have Intelligent wireless keyboard combo and wireless optical mouse installed. The keyboard works but the mouse does not work. The red light at the bottom of the mouse is on. Moving the mouse has no effect on the cursor. Now I have to use an USB mouse in combination.

Please advise how to fix the problem.

First off you probably want to remove:
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
if you have a scroll wheel/3rd button, the fact that you also have ZAxisMapping leads me to believe this.

Is it PS2? If so you could try:
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

Also check that you have:
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
in the layout section of xorg.conf (I'm guessing you meant xorg.conf and not xorg.confg!)

Does the mouse work in a console with gpm? You should be able to get an output if you move the mouse while running the command:
# cat /dev/psaux

Maybe the battery is going?

Hi 3Dave,

Tks for your advice.

There is nothing incorrect with the OS. nor anything wrong with the battery. This is a new wireless set - keyboard plus optical mouse.

The factory-setup on channel for both of them was channel-1. I just switched the mouse channel to channel-2 then it is now working nicely.

I turned over the Internet without a solution. It is so simple and straghtforward.
