Description Gordon Messmer 2003-07-10 22:10:47 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
Red Hat Linux was installed with another type of mouse.  After installation,
/etc/sysconfig/mouse contained this text:

FULLNAME="serial"
MOUSETYPE="ms3"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="ms3"

When "mouseconfig" was run to change the configuration to "Generic - 3 Button
Mouse (serial)", the program would crash trying to reference the "DEVICE" item
in one of its dictionary variables.  Adding DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 to
/etc/sysconfig/mouse allowed the program to operate normally.

Please fix the program to initialize all required variables to default values
before loading the config file.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-mouse-1.0.5-1

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install with non-serial mouse
2. run mouseconfig
3. select "Generic - 3 Button Mouse (serial)"
4. hit the "OK" button
    

Actual Results:  program crashes

Expected Results:  program should show the serial devices available.
