I keep losing my mouse! Post hd-install checklist?
I keep losing my mouse it freezes up after using it for a while in kde, gnome, fluxbox etc. I have 128 meg of ram and double sized swap file. Mouse is a Chic otical mouse two button with wheel.
Also can't log on without being su.
Have to type in : mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD eth0 (as su) to force my nic to work!
Is there a post install checklist for knoppix. (ie. the steps you need to do to give all your users sound, get your icons back, find your dvd drive etc.)???

For the icons and dvd this thread for the sound for the users in a console window as root adduser user_name audio to add the user to the audio group some other groups you may want to add the user to cdrom, floppy, video and src to check which groups you belong to in a console groups or id. note: you have to logout and back in for the changes to take effect if you are the user you are changing the groups for any others next time they login the changes will be in effect.
Some more details on the nic and user login problem would be helpful. Although did the password you choose for the user have more than 8 characters [edit] if so try the first 8 characters [/edit] ? For the mouse I have no clue whatsoever perhaps a google linux search with some well chosen keywords could be helpful.

Have you tried a different mouse. That at least might tell you if Linux just doesn't like your Chic mouse. Of course if it does the same thing w/ a different brand mouse then there must be soomething wrong w/ your configuration or perhaps another piece of hardware.

Mouse
Tried a new mouse but same thing happens. Especially when using X-Chat.
Seems to go good for a while then locks up like Windoze!!!
Do I need to change my X settings?

Could you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and what type of mouse did you put on it now eg. serial, ps/2 or usb.

Try these two minor changes:
1) If you're using a USB mouse then you should add a line in your "ServerLayout" section that reads: InputDevice "USB Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" like so:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
2) Change Option "Protocol" "PS/2" to "auto" like so:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
