So it seems like I'm not the only one having problems...good :-) so
there's a chance of the problem getting resolved some time. Like I
told in my mail earlier this day, the mouse (M$ IntelliMouse PS/2)
worked fine with FC1, and after upgrading to FC2 it happily jumps
around on the screen, the buttons don't work properly, bringing it
down: no real work is possible with X.
I once had similar problems on my Dell Lattitude C840 Notebook with
RH 7.3, when I didn't have a mouse near and had to use the touchpad
I had exactly the same effect. In that case, I ran mouseconfig (or
what its name was in RH 7.3), chose another mouse type (don't
remember which, has been some time), restarted X11 and it worked.
But now with FC2 I can't get it working even after calling
mouseconfig :-(
Alright, so I'll now add my 0.02 cents to the bugzilla entry and
hope that someone knows how to resolve this ;-)
