mouse not working on IBM NetVista 6792

I just installed 6.0 on a NetVista personal computer 6792-MHU and the mouse
is not working. When photon starts, the pointer is drawn in the middle and
won’t move. It does not seem to react to any mouse clicks. I do not know
if it is related, but the photon screen looks like it in some 16 color low
res mode. I can live with the poor resolution, but need the mouse to
work… Thanks for any help!

Hi Jay,

What type of mouse is it? serial/PS/2?
Have you tried the devi-hirun offered on developers.qnx.com?

Regards,

Joe

Hi Jay,

The links work fine on my end…try the below URL. You should get a
directory listing which contains devi-hirun.

Joe,

Is this file a general fix or one just for the NetVista? I’m also having
problems with my ps2 mouse and inputtrap and devi-hirun do not seem to
work as the doco describes. I’ve tried switching off USB legacy support
(suggested by the qnx knowledge base) and that makes no difference.

Fortunately I still have my old ms mouse that I bought in 1989 but it is
showing it’s age.

Hi Nick,

I believe this fix targeted Logitech and wireless mice.
