Knoppix 3.4 mouse not working

[looney_wolf]

When I boot the knoppix cd my mouse is frozen. I have a ps/2 optical mouse from memorex that worked fine with Mandrake 10 and Red Hat 9. I can tab through fields to exit in Knoppix. I also tried a serial mouse but had the same results. I don't have a usb mouse or I'd try that too.

The odd thing is that knoppix runs really well on another PC I have at the moment an HP Pavillion 983T - which didn't play well with Mandrake and froze up at the start of X.

Check this out:

Configuring the mouse:
mouseconfig

but better use the XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11

Search for Mouses and thier section.
try to change the protocol to IMPS/2 or so ...
