SDB:Mouse does not work in X11

From openSUSE

Situation

After installation is finished, everything seems to be fine, except your mouse pointer doesn't move at all.

Procedure

1. Please switch to text console ([ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]), login as root, then execute this command:

init 3

As soon as you will get information that "runlevel 3" has been reached press 'enter'.

2. Now you should be back to command prompt line. Execute:

cat /dev/input/mice

After that, move your mouse, click on buttons, etc. Did you get any output on the screen? If you see reaction to your mouse movement, please go to point 4. If there was no reaction for any kind of mouse movement please go to point 3.

3. Physically disconnect mouse from your computer, wait a while (about 15 sec.), plug it back in, again wait a while (about 15 sec.). Now try to move your mouse. Did you get any output on the screen? If there is still no reaction to your mouse movement, try to connect your mouse to a different port.

4. As soon as you see results on your screen to mouse movement, you can stop 'cat' process with [ctrl]+[c].

5. Now execute

sax2

and as soon as you get "Automatic graphic system setup" window, click on "OK" button.

6. Reboot your computer and check to see if the mouse works.

In case of problems you can get useful information by executing commands (as root user):

hwinfo --mouse
sysp -s mouse
