Hello everyone

I am having problems with PS/2 mice.

When I first instaled RHLinux 8.0 (every package) everything worked out
fine. Both graphical and text mode were fine.
I have RHL for personal use at home, so when I do not neet it I shut down
the machine. After a few time of use of RHL at the startup procedure of the
operating system a message appeared on the screen telling me something went
wrong with the mouse.
The mouse does not work both in text and graphical mode (I mean the X server
does not start at all). I run the command mouseconfig several times with
several kinds of mouse types. but that didn't help me very much. Curiously,
when I selected �No Mouse� Xwindows started correctly but up with no mouse
set..

Thank you so much for your help

PS: I have two PS2 type mice with 2 buttons.
