[Linux-ia64] USB Mouse on SLES8 Beta1

[Linux-ia64] USB Mouse on SLES8 Beta1

[Jon R. Doyle]

This seems to be broke:

In Preview 5 & 6 of UL my Intel 4 CPU 900mhz SDV detects the keyboar and
mouse fine. SLES 8 beta 1 will not find the USB mouse and therefore cause
instal pains (read it is a pain to TAB key through Yast to complete
install). Once completed install in curses Yast pops up failing to detect
mouse. lsmod shows usb drivers loaded......

Yast2 is a real PAIN to use in this mode. Even with a mouse it is a real
PAIN vs Yast1 for server configs!!!!

What kind of mouse do you have?  Please provide the output of "hwinfo --usb".

Why don't you use the keyboard shortcuts?  Just press Alt + underlined
character.

I will look at that, better would be "why not have Yast1 like interface for
SLES, since it is a server OS. Clearly Yast2 is designed for the desktop
users, where you will use KDE.

Seems like your mouse is broken somehow, as nothing of this kind is
conntected to USB.  What does lsusb give you?

If you want the textmode interface, you can call it as yast.
