Hi all

I like the idea of DSL very much, and I already installed it on my USB stick.
I'll install it also on my prehistoric pentium I /40MB RAM/ 650MB HD laptop... :D

My problem is at startup with USB stick. I only have one single box with USB-boot enabled BIOS, so I can't reproduce the problem anywhere else.

When I boot from the USB stick, everything runs fine and comes up - but the mouse doesn't work! I noticed that at X start the mouse pointer is visible. If I move the mouse, the pointer jumps to the lower margin of my desktop and I can't select anything - thus I can't use it!!!

I boot on a modern HP PC with 1024 MB RAM. The mouse is a standard PS/2 mouse with 2 buttons and a wheel. No USB mouse, no bluetooth, no optical...

I already tried xsetup, but no success. Funny: when I start DSL through Qemu in WinXP, everything is fine and I can use the mouse!!! So it can't be a hardware issue.

I read some people had the same problem in other threads, but most solved it by just bying a new mouse...which is not my solution (It's not my PC), and I think this should be fixed.

Any ideas?

thanks all and congratulations for the work done.

That's not funny at all... it's expected behaviour.

After you ran xsetup, did you restart X? (You may have better results trying a full xserver though.. usually I do this for laptops)

Actually I used xsetup as boot option, so
xsetup comes up before X. So, no,
I didn't restart X after xsetup, but X was not up
yet when xsetup finished ...
