Message:

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 Linux Additions for Virtual Server which will work with the
Windows Version of Virtual PC, but may not with the Mac version.

CentOS is not a supported distribution, so you will probably have to
mess around with the installer to get it working.

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

There's no reason not to try the Virtual Server Linux Additions.
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,
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

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.
