FC4 and message mouse configuration

[zillah]

Suddenly (before there was no problem) I started FC4 and I received this message:


I can not start the X server (your graphical interface). It seems that the pointer (your mouse) is not setup correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose


The mouse that I have got is USB Toshisba Mini Optical Mouse.i.e it is a mouse that stopped working suddnely?



I googled and I found this
https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2005-June/msg00155.html

I followed the steps without any success.

I can not find the proper answer for the below poped windows:

Would you like me to try to run the mouse configuration program? Note that you will need the root password for this.


When I clicked yes, another window poped up :


Mouse Selection

Select the appropriate mouse for the system

Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (PS/2)
Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (USB)
Generic - 2 Buttom Mouse (Serial)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (PS/2)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (USB)
Generic - 3 Buttom Mouse (Serial)
' - - - - --
'-- - - -- -

'


but i could not find the name of the mouse that I have got!!!!!

I tried couple selections, but all of them did not work

I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf,,,,I found this :


Section "Input Device"
Identifier "Mouse 0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttins" "yes"


I checked dmesg |more ,,,,I found this:

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

This was found on getting FC working with a wheel mouse:
"But finally I found resolution to this. Just add following line to /etc/modprobe.conf

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

This is the same line to get Logitech Optical Mouse to work with kernel >= 2.6.1. If this doesn't work for you look for resolution in some of the sites in the section "Some Useful Websites" at the end of this page where I have got some pointers about getting the mouse wheel to work."

Do you have another mouse you can try and see if it is recognized? Even a PS/2 mouse? I'm wondering if you have upgraded anything to cause either a kernel module to not load properly or that may have changed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

This line was already there.

It did not work.
