Description Niklas Herder 2003-09-15 01:04:57 UTC
The LiveCD for Wolfenstein ET doesn't recognize that I'm using a USB mouse,
causing the config process to fail. When I connect it to the PS/2 port,
everything works fine.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disconnect any PS/2 mice and plug in a usb mouse into a USB slot.
2. Boot the Wolfenstein LiveCD.
3. Wait

Actual Results:  
The hardware detection thinks no mouse is connected, and therefore drops me to a
shell without starting X.


Expected Results:  
It should try to detect if there is a USB mouse connected, or optionally let the
user point to which mouse device X should use.


I'm using a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical USB mouse. It works fine, and the
/dev/usbmouse exists when the LiveCD is booted, so I don't think

Gamecd's currently not supported but may make a comeback in the future.
