I have done a clean install of Fedora Core2. It has identified my PS2 MS
"Wheel Mouse" as a generic 3 button mouse. The arrow is there, but does not
move.
There is no hardware problem, the mouse works fine on my other box, dare I
say? MS.
The install is complete, using GNOME but I have no mouse. How do I get to
install the
correct driver?
Thanks to all you experts out there.

1. Read your X windows configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), see what
settings it has for your mouse.

1. Enter:

$ cd /dev/input
$ sudo cat mouse0

Move your mouse -- notice any characters that are printed. If no characters
are printed when you move the mouse, or if this is printed --

cat: mouse0: No such device

-- then try another of the input devices, until "cat" catches the
"mouse".

Once you have detected your mouse, you can edit the X windows ccnfiguration
file to suit your findings.
