Hello,
The 20/05/03 version don't recognize the mouse ov my Compaq Armada E700. It's strange because the 16/05/03 version works fine...

A new bug ?

Thanks

Markov

I have a Compaq Armada Model 7400 and a second model M700 laptop and have exactly the same experience, i.e., it worked well on 3.1 but the IBM style pushpin mouse is frozen to the center of the screen with version 3.2. All units were booted from the CD.

I've tried the "knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98" at boot with no improvement noted on either laptop. I haven't tried whether an external USB mouse would work.

regards,

Markov,

I've discovered that if I use a USB mouse, the USB mouse works fine. So I will use this approach until a real fix is discovered. Have you found another solution?

regards,

Hi,
I have a Compaq Armada M700 and I have the same problem. I can´t get an USB mouse right now. Does any body knows how to make the mouse work??

Help....

I had the same problem - went into the bios and disabled a setting - think it was something to do with the keyboard / mouse ( ps2 ) connector on the back and now a ps2 mouse works :)

Just thought I'd chime in and say I am having the same problem on a Compaq Armada 1598DMT.

Worked fine till latest ver, and now nothing.

Thanks to FreddyK from #knoppix, a temp fix is as simple as:

I use Armada 7400 and just downloaded Knoppix at the 03/07/14
I noticed that i had major probs with the buildt in mouse...

BUT when a ps/2 mouse is connected at the back the buildt in mouse is activated imidatly...

Dunno why though,,,, that can someone with the brains figure out

on Compaq Armada 1700.
Does the nowheel command may be inscripted in lilo.conf?
Thank's

"knoppix nowheelmouse" works for me in my compaq, but I have also to unplug the mouse before running knoppix.

Alright i tryed to use "knoppix nowheel" and "knoppix nowheelmouse", but i got a new problem with that, my computer screen goes blank right before the picture is supposed to appear, it loads everything it supposed to and i should see the mouse with the desktop, but instead i have a black blank screen, i didnt have that problem while i wrote expert to the boot and ran it like usually(although the mouse didnt work like that)...


by the way, one more question, as i understand compaq dosent have a BIOS chip on its motherboard, so how am i supposed to access BIOS?
