Re: uncontrollable mouse

["Adam Sleight" <adams linearcorp com>]

yeah...I had that problem when I played around with imwheel and change my mouse
type....after I changed it back to the way it was before no problem.

do a CTRL-ALT-F2 ..log in as root and vi /etc/X11/XF86Config and delete those
lines (this is assuming you have imwheel config which I don't know if you do)
mine XF86Config looks like this:  stripped out comments though
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "IMPS/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
    Emulate3Buttons
    Emulate3Timeout    50

EndSection

after your done modifying and saving it...CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to your
graphical screen then CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart X.
