Bug 100665

fixed on beta1 

*** Bug 104397 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I guess you mean "fixed for beta2" here? I observed this on beta1 - please clarify.

still broken, reopening  

Joe also experienced this on beta2 

*** Bug 102642 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

the code for probing the mouse was never called in Initial stage. 
The code does: 
 
  if (! Mouse::Found()) { 
      ... probe 
  } 
 
but Mouse::Found() returns always "none" which is a non empty string 
so the probing never takes place. I removed that Mouse::Found() code 
 
fixed 

still there *wxfu%!!!* 

The problem is deeper in YaST. During installation The function 
 
  Mouse::Probe() 
 
is called and returned the following:

agent-probe is not able to call hd_read_config correctly. The result is 
that ignore entry. Can somebody please fix the probe agent ? 
 
Thanks  

Not sure if it's useful (please let me know if not) to let you guys know when
somebody else has the same bug. I'm getting it in beta2. The mouse worked during
the install fine but I forced it to explorerps/2 which is what it uses in 9.3.

still seeing it in beta3

Looks like the unique-key / UUID problem fixed in libhd. 

In Beta 4 mouse configuration is not shown in "Install Settings" -> "Expert". Is
this now the solution for this problem?
What if I have to install a special mouse?

I'd like to confirm comment #16 for RC4.

And in ncurses mode installation (see bug 97550) yast still displays "Ignore
mouse - regardless of if one exists".  This message is too short.  I guess this
is, what is meant:

   Ignore Mouse in textmode - detected XXX model for graphics mode

Only print "regardless of if one exists" if you cannot detect the model.

Marcus, can you look at the 'texmode' bug Karl mentions ? 

Hi Karl, 
 
this bloody message makes me crazy, who was the one implementing 
that; it wasn't me ? :) I'm really sure all kind of standard mice 
are detected correctly. Karl I think this happens on your small test 
system right ? I will visit you as soon as I'm healthy again so please 
leave it in a state where I can reproduce this... 
 
would be nice, thanks 

could not reproduce this and Karls testsystem is broken because of 
harddisk crash... later  

hwinfo --mouse is able to detect the mouse properly.  I'm going to attach the y2log as well.  Also see again comment 17 .
