ps/2 mouse not detected if ball not rolling?
When starting linux if I do not roll mouse ball I do
not get a ps2 aux device. Then xwindows will crash when it
does not detect mouse - crash can be prevented by
rolling mouse ball when running startx . But alas mouse eventually
freezes in xwindows. This is a hardware problem - the mouse
was working fine.
Any reason to believe the problem is the mouse
or is there a reason to believe the problem is the ps2 hardware?
Don't have adapter or another ps/2 mouse right now to test this.
Thanks
