Hi,

I am using liveCD version of DSL.
When it boots up my mouse moves for about half a second and then just freezes. (That half a second time is there no matter how long I wait to make the first move).
The PC still works - I can alt-Q out of the screen and so on.

The mouse is a regular PS/2 mouse - optical with wheel.

Are there any command line commands to configure the mouse?
Or any way to get to graphical settings?

J

Update:I tried a USB mouse from another computer and it worked!
So why wouldn't the regular mouse work?!? - would I have better chances of getting it to work after installing DSL on the hard drive?
