on boot my mouse doesnt work so i have to unplug it from usb and reinsert.
any ideas?
maybe my mouse is cheap and generic and i need a brand name?

Cable or Wlan-Mouse? Here both works great.
Check if mouse is recognized by poseidon -prefs (USB)/Devices as hid.class. (Wlan-Mouse is called "USB Receiver)
If not: Change mouse!

yes, its wireless.
will check

its hid.class wireless mouse

@ bash64 - Some of the later Apple wireless mice, and probably some of the cheaper/generic mice might be unsupported by the Apple hardware that MorphOS uses. I know I have a later Apple (Magic-type) wireless mouse (model number not to hand) that suffers/doesn't work because of this issue.

So, you might need an older wireless mouse to get it to work, though I've bought some cheapeer/generic mice and they have been OK. It seems to be good/bad luck if you come across one that is/n't supported or compatible with MorphOS, though there are some quoted in the MorphOS - Hardware Compatibility#Mice section that might be useful as reference to you in these circumstances.

thanks

I had the same problem with wired mouse. I had to re-plug mouse after every reset, both on Powermac and Powerbook. If I swap the mouse for the not-so-cheap one, all works normally.


So I have the same advice like others - change the mouse

mcally mouse worked.
strangely the ONN brand mouse from walmart does not.
it acted up on boot but then it quit working altogether
logitech didnt want to play nice either

@ bash64 - Which models (their model numbers) of mice did you try out that either did or did not work with MorphOS?

As the hardware compatibility list in the MorphOS Library could probably benefit from having the hardware added in there for other users to know what does/doesn't work with MorphOS.
