How do I detect if a new PS/2 mouse is plugged in?

If I remove my PS/2 mouse, then plug it back in, it no longer works.
How do I make the computer refresh and re-detect the mouse without rebooting?

@lagagnon Thanks for the link, but it doesn't seem to show how to detect PS/2 devices on a live system while it is on (if that is even possible). After all, my PS/2 mouse works, so there doesn't seem any need for me to edit those settings. The mouse works if it is plugged into the computer before I turn it on. If I boot the computer then plug the mouse PS/2 mouse in once I've reached the desktop, then in that scenario is when the PS/2 mouse isn't recognized. I wonder if it is possible to recognize PS/2 in real time like with USB devices?! I wasn't able to find anything useful in Google yet.
@SS4 I don't see anything in dmesg but here it is:

  • How do i detect spyware?

    My nokia 6230 and new nokia 6110 Navigator are both infected with spyware which allows the person who loaded the spyware to penetrate my calls received or dialled and receive copies of my sms's. How do i detect this software and how do i remove it?

    I doubt that there's such an app on thr 6230 as it allows only the installation of very limited Java apps that can't do much anything.
    On the 6110 Navigator, you can uninstall apps using the App.mgr (Application Manager) program. You can also reformat the memory card and phone to remove all traces of any installed apps. Format the card using the "Memory" app on the phone first, then clear the phone by "dialing" *#7370#

  • How to log in to the new installed SAP ABAP instance ?

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP ERP 2005 installation,
    I have done central system installation, Now I need to perform postinstallation steps,
    Could you please tell me,  how to log in to the new installed SAP ABAP instance and do the post installation?
    Regards,
    Madhavan K

    Hi,
    Check the list of post installation steps:
    http://www.saptechies.com/post-installation-steps-for-ecc-60/
    From my point of view basic post installation steps are:
    - Installing SAP License (from http://service.sap.com/licensekeys)
    - Setup TMS  (STMS)
    - Import profiles (RZ10)
    - Client Copy (SCC*)
    - Create users (SU01)
    However further many steps are required as per your requirements. Cehck the link for more detailed steps.

  • I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

    I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?  Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

    How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
    Check your power status
    From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
    Copy and Paste in your reply.
    The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
    Long term storage (6 months):
    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that.  If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online.  You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well.  YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
    I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
    Thanks,
    W

    You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US.  Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail".  Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
    Hope this helps

  • My daughter and i share same itunes account but we want to separate and have our own. if i change "our" account to "her" account how can i set up a new "for me only" account and retrieve all my contacts and apps

    my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?

    Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
    Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account.
