Hi,
my first steps with Kubuntu:
just installed Kubuntu 8.10 on vmplayer 2.51.
Problem:
The mouse doesn't work properly: If I click on the mouse, the effect shows not where the mouse points to; but somewhere else on the screen (2-3 cm up left). During installation I circumvented the pb by using the keyboard, but now kubuntu is installed, and I don't know Kubuntu and how to use it w/o a mouse. I suppose the installation is not yet finished, because there is a message that updates are waiting to be installed, but I don't know how to trigger this.
I tried:
a) modifying the settings of the virtual machine to autoconnect for the USB devices (its a usb mouse, btw)
#usb.generic.autoconnect = "FALSE"
usb.generic.autoconnect = "TRUE"
b) modifiy the xorg.conf
added the following section, which I found in the internet somewhere
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
But the pb remains.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!
