Mouse not working in X11 [SOLVED]

I can't seem to get the mouse working with X11.  I set up hal to run as a daemon so I don't have an xorg.conf file.  I also tested in X to see if mouse events were firing with cat /dev/input/mice and everything checks out fine.  The cursor even renders, I just can't move it.  I'm using the default touchpad on the laptop I installed Arch on if that's important.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I appreciate the help, but I already figured out a workaround for the issue I was having.  I looked in the configuration log and saw that AllowEmptyInput was turned on which was causing my mouse device to be disabled.  Putting the following into the xorg.conf file did the trick and gave me mouse power:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput"  "false"
EndSection

  • Mouse not working when reinstalling OS X with install disk

    I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 on iMAC G5 after a hard drive crash with the help of the original install disks, but my wireless mouse does not work anymore. Any ideas how I can solve this or go through the installation process with the keyboard alone? I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to tab from a list in a window to the select button...

    How is your mouse not working? Is it dead?
    Is the wireless mouse a Mighty Mouse or a 3rd party mouse?
    Does you mouse need batteries?
    *Just in case it's dirty:*
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
    Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
    TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
    "Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
    Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
    Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
    Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.
    Only do the following if your warranty has run out:
    Cleaning inside and dismantling the Apple Mighty Mouse
    If so, then I suggest (if your 1 year warranty is not up and/or you have Apple Care Protecton Plan) you call Apple Tech Support & ask for a replacement.

  • Keyboard and mouse not working

    both keyboard and mouse not working. I have changed batteries and checked drivers  please help..  thank you
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for the information, that is exactly what I needed.
    If you are having the enter issue when using the wired KB from your old computer that sounds software related with the blog site.
    What web browser do you use when on that website?
    Connect your wireless equipment back and if you continue to have the issue with the letters repeating then you should inquire about a replacement for what is referred to as "sticky keys".  With it being a new unit this shouldn't be an issue.
    Let me know if you have other questions.

  • Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

    Hi ,  I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
    Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
    I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
    The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
    My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
    can the nano reciever be replaced;
    any other options to troubleshoot;
    any chance that this could be a software problem
    Thanks

    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
    What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
    What version of Windows are you using?
    Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
    Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?
    Please re-post with the necessary information, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

    Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
    Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
    Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
    Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
    Soultion : Please follow steps below
    Step 1: Start > run > regedit
    Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
    Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
    Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
    This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

  • Magic mouse not working in mountain lion

    magic mouse not working in mountain lion....What can I do?

    Have you tried a fresh set of Alkaline Batteries?
    Was  it ever paired to another divice?

  • Mouse not working in open applications

    Mouse not working properly on menu bar in certain applications: Text Edit, Calendar, Notes.  You can hover over the  red X but it will not close the application.  Also unable to click on a text form and drop the cursor in to edit or copy text.  Can open preference box but uanable to navigate because mouse will not click.  Have to now use keyboard to open and close most applications.  Virus?  Setting that got magically turned on?  Have powered down, checked batteries, etc.

    This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
    First, is this a wired mouse or a Bluetooth mouse? If it's a Bluetooth mouse, try changing the batteries, even if they should be fully charged.
    Have you tried a different mouse? If not, try that. Borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap wired mouse and see if that makes a difference.
    If the problem affects all mice, try restarting in safe mode. Does the problem happen while in that mode? If not, and if it comes back when you restart normally, then you have some kind of third-party software that is causing the problem. The trick will be figuring out what it is.

    How about telling us how your keyboard & mouse are not working?  Are both using batteries or are they wired?  If batteries, have you checked and/or changed them?  Keyboard & mouse Apple's or 3rd party?  If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let Apple deal w/your problems.
    If possible, try another keyboard & mouse? 
    Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

  • Clamshell mode and mouse not working on external monitor

    Suddenly I notice that when I put my MBP (late model 2008, Lion) in clamshell mode, my blue tooth mouse and wireless keyboard become unresponsive
    I think the MBP has frozen but its only that the mouse and keyboard do not respond.
    I have to open the MBP in order for the mouse to work so I can work using the externa (Apple 24" monitor).
    This just started happening.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Just started happening as of yesterday March 19. I cannot think of anything new I downloaded. Rebooting did not seem to help.

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 bluetooth mouse not working

    From my macbook air with bootcamp windows 7 my bluetooth mouse is not working.  It was working before and it still works fine under mac os but I don't know why it's not working anymore under Windows 7.  I also tried to find bluetooth from control panel or device manager but bluetooth is not showing.  Anyone can help me to solve this problem?  Thanks.

    getting blue tooth device to work after install
    iMac 21.5 inch OS X Lion (10.8.4), Bootcamp 5 install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    At the end of my install, I noticed that Bootcamp was not available from Windows (e.g., no hidden taskbar 
    icon). Other issues with missing USB drivers. Magic mouse worked ok, except the trackpad-like swiping 
    features were absent. Ran setup in the BootCamp folder of the thumb drive (not the setup in the thumb 
    drive's root directory), which indicated it was a continuing install (guess somehow the first one stopped 
    prematurely), installed all the special Apple etc. drivers for the Bootcamp interface with Windows.
    After restart, all the troubleshooter warnings for USB devices had cleared, but Magic mouse was not 
    communicating with system.
    Attached a standard Microsoft optical USB mouse.
    Then, in Windows control panel > devices and printers:
    right clicked the magic mouse's icon (was labeled apple-username's mouse)
    selected Services tab
    (Bluetooth Services refreshes, then shows checkbox for Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID))
    check the checkbox
    Windows installs the driver and the magic mouse works with all its features in Windows.
    incidentally, noticed that had lots of internet cutouts with both wi-fi and lan connected. maybe an issue 
    with my ISP, don't know, although issue only apparent in Windows, not Mac OS X.

    I have read your post on how your wireless mouse will not work on your Lenovo computer. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    Does the wireless mouse work when connected to another computer? Do other USB devices work on your computer? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 7). This should help connect your mouse to the computer.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • Bluetooth mouse not working on T430s

    All my drivers are up to date, my mouse has new batteries, and I tried this fix:
    http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connection-no-more/
    Now my bluetooth mouse only works after I reboot the computer, but then disconnects after a while, and I can't even add it again to my bluetooth devices.
    Can somebody please help?

    Hi everyone!
    I had problems with my new Rapoo 6080 mouse, it didn't want to work with my laptop anyhow.
    The connection was successful, but the cursor was dead, and in a few minutes Windows removed the mouse connection with the following error in Event Log:
    Initial connection to Bluetooth HID device failed.  The device has been removed as a personal or paired device.  You must reinstall the device.
    I called Lenovo techsupport, they have referred me to this thread.
    Now I have found a solution, that might not be perfect and requires some skills, but IT WORKS (at least for me). I have installed Toshiba bluetooth stack on my laptop, replacing the drivers from Lenovo.
    Toshiba has ceased support for other manufacturer's devices in their stack, but a little fix of VID and PID values in tosrfusb.inf file did the job.
    Not sure if I should provide details on how to do the whole process, as it requires some skills and accuracy. I guess those who are familiar with Windows will find their way.
    BTW, the stack I downloaded is not latest, it was version v80012T_20110809_x64. But I guess the latest may also do the job.
