Mouse pointer

Former Member over 13 years ago

Using Debian squeeze on Farnell SD card.

Everthing started up; went through the initialisation sequence.

Ran 'startx' and jumped into the GUI.

However the mouse will only go up and down the middle; no left or right. Any ideas?

Can you try another mouse, just to be on the safe side?

Try downloading another copy of Debian, reload, and try again.

It works for me.

Many Thanks.

After writing I carried on searching and lack of power was mentioned a lot.
Borrowed a laser mouse and everything works. The roller ball mouse must have hit the limit.
I have now got a list of searches which cover most things for a newbie to Linux.
Thanks

Peter,

If I knew it was a roller ball mouse, I would have said use an optical. I believe roller ball mice have gone the way of the pager.

Good luck.
