[SOLVED] [FluxBox] Mouse can't move...

Hi,
This is my first post in the forum
I'm having a problem... Yesterday, everything was working perfectly in FluxBox... This morning, I started it with
startx
. The mouse could not move and the keyboard was not responding either!
I really don't know what to do... I tried few things :
Xorg -configure
and I replace the old xorg.conf for this one.... [FAIL]
I modified few configuration files  [FAIL]
So, can you help me please:)
Thanks,
Bye
***EDIT***
I succedeed! I feel a little bit stupid.... the problem was that hal was not started at boot... In fact, in /etc/rc.conf, in the daemon section, I wrote "hak" instead of "hal"... That's why!
Bye
Thanks!

  • Screen freezes, mouse can still move

    When I tried to upgrade yesterday, I had a conflict with xorg-server. After a bit of searching I stumbled onto http://www.archlinux.org/news/436/. So I did that and my system updated perfectly.
    When I booted this morning I could log in just fine (slim) but when my XFCE session loads, my screen just freezes at a random point (sometimes I can see pidgin being loaded, sometimes my screen is all black with just my mousepointer showing). I can always move my mouse pointer though.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  • I updated to the latest version and now I do not have the page controls at the right hand side and bottom and can only move the page up and down using the mouse scroll wheel. I also cannot see the whole page I am trying to view.

    When I open the web browser I cannot see the whole page and I cannot move the image sideways and must use the mouse scroll to move up and down.

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • HT1338 Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install.  Anyone else have that problem?  How do i solve?  Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

    Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install.  Anyone else have that problem?  How do i solve?  Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

    Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
    If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
    It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
    10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
    And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
    Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
    Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
    Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

  • My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

    My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

    Actually as Roam said, you can keypress, Option + command + 8
    But i think wat you asking is that you dont want the screen mving when you move the mouse. Right?
    For that you can, goto, System Preference -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> More Options...
    Once you click more option, you'll get a window. Look at the bottom of the window for 3 options with bullet buttons. SELECT "ONLY WHEN THE POINTER REACHES AN EDGE" and click "DONE"
    Viola!!! You're troubl's are over!!!

  • Copying Fields from one PDF to an Updated PDF - can't move fields on destination pdf

    I'm using Word as the authoring software for a PDF.  In version 9, I never had problem copying fields from one to another.  But in Version 11 I copy them to the new revised form and the fields won't move.  I can't move them with the mouse or the keyboard arrows.  I do see a bunch activity in the right pane called fields (tab order) but the fields don't move.
    Any help understanding why and how to solve is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your time and experience.

    Highlight all the fields with CTRL +A, click on properties, and uncheck "Locked"  in the bottom left.

  • Mouse Can't Track but Clickable

    Lately, my Apple wireless BT mouse cannot track anything. It has no problem connecting and clicking. It does everything but tracking. When it first connect, the laser light turns on with no problem. But once initial connection is established, the laser turned off and won't turn on even when you move the mouse around. Anyone has a solution to this?

    Just wanted to add a little more detail to this. I deleted the mouse from the list of paired bluetooth devices in the prefs pane, then switched it on and tried to repair. It paired up very quickly, and was able to click (select) anything under the cursor (I have to move the cursor with a wired mouse of course). It blinked for about 2 minutes (two flashes pause, two flashes pause, etc.), but never begins to track. The blinking has now stopped, the mouse can still click, but still cannot track. Perhaps this additional detail might help solve the problem quicker. Fingers crossed! (now moving cursor over post message with wired mouse and clicking with wireless mouse!!!)

  • Can't move layers in Mac Acrobat 9 Pro

    I can't move layers in Acrobat 9 Pro, even though Adobe says it's possible. All that I get is a circle wih a slash at the cursor on clicking and holding the mouse, indicating that moving the layer up or down in the stack is not possible. No key presses help either. Four attempts to get a definitive answer from Adobe Support yield only that they said it was possible. They also admitted that even if you did move a layer, it would not affect how the layer objects display, ie. whether above or below other layer's objects!
    Has anyone been successful in moving a layer?
    Relatedly, one (Windows) respondent says she can "position" a new layer upon Layer Import, but the Mac dialog makes no mention of the layer stack, just the X-Y coordinates on the PDF page....
    Thanks for any help or thoughts,
    fss

    Thanks guys for responding. I went through the usual steps of trashing preferences, shutting down the computer, going home, and drinking a beer. I got in this morning and booted her up, and now everything works just as it should.
    No idea what it was. I'm positive that the tracks weren't locked, and I'm 95% sure that I was in arrow mode (I was selecting the layer right before trying to move it.)
    I don't know what it was, but I hope it never happens again.
    Thanks again,
    Nathan

  • I've been working on this for hours... Solaris works but mouse won't move

    Edit: I should go ahead and say that I've looked at EVERY tutorial and guide and post I could find all over google, for literally hours. If you know how to fix this, I'm begging you to help me.
    I have a Dell Dimension 8200, 256 MB RAM, Nvidia Geforce3 Ti 200 video card. The settings that appear when I press the "enter" button on the moniter say 640X480 with H.F.: 31.53 KHz and V.F.: 60.09 Hz.
    For the keyboard and mouse:
    Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 ( Model 1014 ), Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse. Both of which wirelessly connect to the computer through the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1, which is simply plugged into the computer into the first USB slot.
    My keyboard and mouse came from the same box, so they should both work...but only one does. Both worked on Windows XP, without installing any extra drivers, so it is not a hardware issue.
    I'm using Xorg. Xsun graphics won't work for me--they come up as green and black scattered text. I ran the xorgconfig and xorg.conf was automatically placed in /etc/X11/. So, I assume that was done correctly... I chose Auto for Mouse Detection, the default mouse driver /dev/mouse/, Generic English 104-key for the keyboard, no for 3-button-emulation, no for special settings, yes for card selection ( I chose #19 Nvidia, #350 Nvidia Geforce will not work. ), #3 for Moniter selection, 640x800 for all options, and 16 bit I believe for all options.
    I then rebooted, and the GUI worked fine and the keyboard worked fine. I logged in and got to the desktop, where I was prompted with some windows. The mouse pointer graphic was on the screen, but I couldn't get the mouse to work. I moved the mouse ( hardware ) back and forth repeatedly, despite my efforts the pointer simply stayed at the center of the screen.
    It's almost humorous, right before I can read the keyboard shortcuts for Solaris manual while navigating the subchapters with the tab button and selecting them with the enter button( it was on the first layer of the windows that popped up so I could see it without needing to click on it ), the Solaris Registration window pops up a minute or two afterwards blocking out the other windows. I can navigate with the tab button in this window as well, yet the enter key does not have the authority to hit the buttons. My only option is to use a mouse...but wait--the mouse does not move!
    SO TO THE POINT! Why won't my mouse work?!
    I am completely new to UNIX based systems, so Solaris is my first one. I'm used to Windows XP, so just to let you know -- when UNIX commands are mentioned, you're speaking in gibberish to me. If I need to edit any files, please clearly explain how to do so--if I need to use a UNIX text editor etc., and what-not. Because as of now, I can only edit the files with the console.
    Oh great...now this is appearing when I reboot:
    WARNING - The following files in / differ from the boot archive:
    /etc/path_to_inst
    cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
    The recommended action is to reboot and select "Solaris failsafe"
    option from the boot menu. Then follow prompts to update the boot archive.
    To continue booting at your own risk, clear the service:
    # svcadm clear system/boot-archive
    Jul 31 16:04:33 svc.startd[7]: svc:/system/boot-archive:default:
    Method "/lib/svc/method/boot-archive" failed with exit status 95.
    [ system/boot-archive:default failed fatally (see 'svcs -x' for deatails) ]

    What is going on?

    Okay I fixed it on my own by reconfiguring Xorg with a new mouse.
    If anyone else somehow encounters this problem in the future, it seems like there isn't a driver for the Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse. If there is one, it doesn't come with the basic installation. Though, the keyboard works fine. The new mouse I got was a PS/2 Optical three-button mouse. It's pretty much your generic computer mouse.
