Mouse not detected

[joe.regularjoe.006.9]

Hello everybody,

I have installed Kubuntu 7.04 and mouse (logitech 2-bth optical) is not detected.

how to fix this? Please anyone help me out.

P.S: I have Ubuntu 6.06, but the same mouse works finely there.

Re: Mouse not detected

For starters, you may want to "compare & contrast" the according section(s) of /etc/X11/xorg.conf as being used by both of your installed systems.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

But, when i logged in to the Kubuntu (it is very difficult to handle with keyboard) and anyhow i reached the /etc/x11/ folder and try to edit the xorg.conf file, there i saw the difference in the file at the protocal attribute (as below)

Ubuntu 6.06 uses "ExplorerPS/2" where the mouse is working.
Kubuntu 7.04 uses "ImPS/2" where the mouse is not working.

I tried to edit the file as-is in the Ubuntu. But its not allowing me to save the file due to no permission. But i logged into the system with my root password. Still its out of my reach.

So how to configure the mouse to work in kubuntu? Please help, give me the steps in details, because I have to use keyboard to navigate.

So how to configure the mouse to work in kubuntu?

Reboot from the 06.06 live system, get access to the installed system, backup and edit the file in question, reboot from the installed system - and hope for the best ...

Boot into Dapper, mount the other partition, edit, reboot into Feisty.
