Lucid PS/2 mouse

**Devilman13** · May 1st, 2010

After updating to Lucid, my PS/2 mouse no longer works on a Dell Optiplex. Unplugging and re-plugging, restarting, etc do not fix. USB mouse works fine.

Same problem for me !

Just updated from 9.10 to 10.4, and my PS/2 mouse won't run.
I plugged a USB mouse, and this one works fine, but I would like to make my old PS/2 work too...

I saw some various bugs around there that seems related to that, but I'm not sure it's exactly the same... ?

Same problem here.

After upgrading to Lucid my Dell C610 laptop doesn't recognise my PS2 mouse. However by unplugging and then replugging the mouse it will work.

Still a pain though.

That didn't work for me. It doesn't matter how I re-plug the mouse, it refuses to work. Anyone know another solution or read somewhere that this will be fixed?

What is the output of these commands:

Code:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Then try this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-mouse mdetect xbase-clients

Reboot

I can confirm that this command works. I had the same problem on Lucid (not after an upgrade. The mouse just stopped working for no reason). Runing this code fixed my problem. Thank you.
