I have mouse problem . My "Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1.0A" is detected at boot, but does not work.

I have searched the forum and FAQs and tried all the suggested solutions...

I have tried modprobe -r usbmouse, then modprobe HID, no good.

I have tried unplugging it and plugging it in again, no good.

I have tried mouseconfig, no good.

I have tried booting with the noapic option, no good.

This mouse works fine in Gentoo, and I don't remember having to do anything special there...

Any suggestions for other things to try?

(We are talking boot from CD, not HDD install.)

TIA,

Martin
