If I manage to get a terminal window open and leave the mouse alone, I can type.
Also <alt-cnlt-F1> gets me to display 1.
If I go back to display 0, everything is still hosed.
Any pointers? Some mouse file out of align and too sensitive? How I fix this and reset things?
I haven't followed this thread closely, so sorry if this has already been suggested. On my KVM at work, if I switch over to a windows computer and then back to my linux box my mouse goes crazy (I don't know why, but its common to our Belkin KVM's). If I unplug and replug my mouse, everything works fine after then. Does this work for you?
the well known belkin kvm switch fix...
psmouse.proto=bare
tack that onto the end of your 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/grub.conf
--- you will lose the 'mouse wheel' on the top but it won't go crazy
As I said, I am running Init 3.
It seems that this comes in at Display 1 ( alt-cntl-F1 ) and when I do an Init 5, that goes to display 0 ( alt-cntl-F7) I see this as I switch between the two,.
The reason I point this out is that if I move the mouse now while I am in Display 1 I get the error to the console:
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
Or it might be 2 or 1 byte.
Does this help at all????
