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.

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
