I just installed CentOS 5.2 as a guest os in VirtualPC 7.2. I have most
things up and running except for the mose won't move. I am hoping that the VMAdditions being installed would assist the issue. I can't find the VMAdditions for Linux. Can someone provide me a download location. |

There are no Additions for Linux for VPC. There are Linux Additions for Virtual Server which will work with the Windows Version of Virtual PC, but may not with the Mac version. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/v.../bb676671.aspx CentOS is not a supported distribution, so you will probably have to mess around with the installer to get it working. |

My guess is your guest OS doesn't have a compatible driver for Xwindows that will communicate with VPC. Got code? |

Thanks for your responses. I was hoping you were going to say something
different. I have everything working except the mouse as far as I can tell. I will post any results if I can get it working. Thanks "Michael Vilain" wrote: [..] |

Also, you could try to manually set up the mouse in the settings for CentOS, it needs to be configured as a PS/2 2-button. |

I am willing to try anything. I am kind of new to linux administration but
can make it through it. Can your provide the config files that I should go after and the sytanx that I should follow? I tried to edit the xorg.conf file wiht the same sytanx that I saw in a native xorg.conf file of the same CentOS5.2. Thanks Steve "Steve Jain" wrote: [..] |

Steve,
Thanks for the information the addition of the i8042.noloop in the grub boot menu.lst was the trick. Once I added that and restarted the mouse snapped to life. If did "break" the dispaly settings but that was easily reset. Things are working great. Thanks again for your help. Steve "Steve Jain" wrote: [..] |

One thing to keep in mind with this is that if there is a system update or
Kernel Patch you need to apply the i8042.noloop fix again. This has happened to me every time I update Ubuntu or GOS. Maybe with Centos you'll be fine but just keep that in mind when updating. On 8/26/08 6:49 PM, in article 62D2D5F6-16C4-4311-873E-D4F50D695816, "Steve" <Steve> wrote: [..] |
