Reconfiguring a mouse.

Try running the xf86config program again and this will give you the option of choosing a different mouse. I believe there is additionally a mouseconfig program which will do similar

Use setup, this will allow u to configure mouse, display, keyboard etc...

Good luck

I am a SuSE fan and one of the things that I tried was to rename the gpm.conf. Then I ran the setup and which ever tool setup from mouse.

Your information is not enough!
Post to me type of you mouse (2 or 3 button) and port it connected to and I'll try to give you step-by-step instructions.

This is usually pretty easy with RedHat. First make sure you have mouseconfig installed.

$ rpm -q mouseconfig

If it is installed you should get a response similar to

"mouseconfig-4.13-2"

If not, you can install it from your installation cd or you can go to www.rpmfind.net and download it. Just enter "mouseconfig" in the search box. Find the one for RedHat 6.2, and click.

To install the package, as root, type:

$ cd [directory to mouseconfig.rpm file]
$ rpm -i mouseconfig-4.x-x-i386.rpm

where "x" is replaced by the version number of the package that you have.

Once your sure the package is installed, do:

$ mouseconfig

and highlight the type of mouse that you have. If you have a three-button mouse, make surethat "Emulate 3 Buttons?" is not selected. Move around using the tab key and arrows, the space bar can be used to check and uncheck boxes.

If you still have problems, or if you don't find a mouse that matches your specific one close enough for your comfort, try selecting a generic three button mouse, if that doesn't work, try a generic two button (IMPORTANT: three button emulation really messes with three button mice, be sure that that is not selected). You may lose some functionality by not having the third button available, but the generic mouse selections (especially two button) will most likely work appropriately.

Good Luck!
