Hello,
I have a Microsoft Intellimouse (2 buttons) which is serially connected to DOS COM1.
Whenever I run KDE, the mouse does not respond but it does change its icon depending on what is positioned underneath it. For example, while on the desktop, it looks like a pointer but when xterm is running, it changes to an "I" bar.
The relevant portion of my X configuration file is as follows:
------------ /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -------------
# File generated by anaconda.
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Anaconda Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
<snip>
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection
-------------------------------------------------
The /etc/sysconfig/mouse file is as follows:
----------------/etc/sysconfig/mouse ----------------
FULLNAME="Generic - 2 Button Mouse (serial)" MOUSETYPE="Microsoft" XEMU3="yes" XMOUSETYPE="Microsoft"
-------------------------------------------------
Please suggest some solution. Thanks.

Does it work in the console? Do you have gpm running?
its icon depending on what is positioned underneath it. For example,
You don't need a mouse to get a mouse icon.
Make sure that your mouse works elsewhere, to isolate the problem either to the mouse driver, or to KDE.

Parul's problem was :

Parul you need to run "mouseconfig" command (without the quotes) and select Microsoft Intellimouse ver 2.1 or higher from the menu. Your mouse will begin to work then I feel. Also check emulate three buttons at the bottom. The selection is necessary because intellimouse expects wake up signal from the OS in order to function and move on the screen and the above driver performs this function whereas the generic 2 button driver that you are using doesn't have this feature
