G'Day, Summary: Mouse does not function in KDE or Gnome after reboot.
Configuration: RedHat 7.2 Kernel 2.4.9-13 Xconfigurator-4.9.39-1 mouseconfig-4.23-1 microsoft serial mouse com1
Description: In order to enable the mouse in either KDE or Gnome mouseconfig and Xconfigurator where used after a workstation installation of RedHat 7.2. Everything functions normally. When the system is rebooted, Xconfigurator must be run in order to enable the mouse. This same problem existed with RedHat 7.1 installation. I am open to suggestions.

This brings up some questions. Does the mouse function in a virtual terminal? If you come up under X-windows (runlevel 5) try Ctl-Alt-F2 and see if the mouse is working, ie; gpm is up and running.
Does the device in the Section "InputDevice" portion of /etc/X11/XF86Config (-4) exist? This might give a hint whether Xconfigurator is working correctly.
Anybody else got any ideas?
Might help if you post /var/log/XFree86.0.log so we can check it for errors/omissions.
