Description Mark Adams 2013-06-15 08:33:02 CEST

Description of problem:
Installer shows mouse pointer, but it is virtually impossible to actually point at anything. The mouse skitters all over the screen when you move it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Mageia 3


How reproducible: It happens whenever I boot to the install disc on my desktop

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert Installation DVD
2. Boot to installer
3. Struggle with mouse pointer

I have a report.bug.xz file that you are welcome to, but it's 1.5 mb and I can't find a place to upload it.

This is not a general issue that affects everyone, so some more info about your hardware may be helpful.

Also, unfortunately, installer bugs can't be fixed after the release.  If you could test Mageia 4 Alpha 2 when it comes out and say whether the bug is still valid there, that would be great (it seems the installation DVD won't be available for Alpha 1).

Closing as OLD.  Hopefully Mageia 4 isn't affected.
