Have installed Red Hat 9 on an old Dell laptop I have here just for the learning curve.

Install was pretty easy but I appear to have selected the wrong mouse driver. Laptop has a built-in ball type mouse.

Default Gnome GUI is running.

I'm now looking to get back into the config setup to change drivers but can't do a damn thing without the mouse. Can't find keyboard commands to bypass this problem either.

Can anyone give me some tips?

 

Are you familiar with Kudzu or Anaconda? How about /etc/modules.conf? My suggestion would be to run Kudzu and see what happens or remove it from modules.conf and let it re-detect. You might also try redhat-config-mouse. PM me if you continue to have problems.
