  • Hey.... I need help. Everyday, Everytime, When i go and turn on nexuiz the first time on that day. The mouse won't work. I even have to restart my computer by Pressing the button and release. I don't want to keep on doing that. even when i go on my computer and log off and then go back on it does the same....

    Note: Everytime when i go sleep I log off my side and go on my sisters side and turn on ktorrent. (Dunno if that helps or anything)

    Note2: Im using arch linux!!!!! Not windows or ubuntu.

    Thx for helping

  • Do I get it right, that the first time you start Nexuiz, it doesn't get any input from the mouse, but the next time it does?

  • Does it happen with both glx and sdl versions? What xorg version are you using? Are you using evdev or old good mouse driver?

  • Captain obvious to the rescue...

    Code: Select all
    Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "Keyboard0"


    What do I read here? Keyboard? Could this be the configuration for a mouse?
    ...
    Lemme think...
    ...
    NO.

    Code: Select all
    Identifier  "Serial Mouse"
    Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
    Identifier      "USB Mouse"


    What kind of mouse do yo have? USB? Serial? PS/2 ?


    THINK!

    Btw none of these are related to your problem, because everything seems normal.
    I don't think it would do anything in your case, but I'd comment out (put # before lines) those parts you don't need (why'd you have that ancient serial mose configured anyway???)

  • Frist:
    Arch is not considered a userfriendly linux distribution, and looking at your questions, you don't seem like an experienced linux user.
    Ad2:
    Even if it's support, we won't do the thinking for you. We help, we suggest, but we won't solve your problems for you, if you don't wanna think.
    Ad3: Sorry if I've hurt your feelings about the mouse if you use a serial one. I just haven't seen a single one in let's see... in almost 8 years now.
    Ad4:I'm happy your problem is solved with the glx binary.
    Ad5:It's me who tells when a thread is closed. But as you wish.
    CLOSED.
