Mouse Issues
TABLEA-2 lists some common mouse issues, possible causes, and solutions.
Diskette Drive Issue
SunPCi III software and the Solaris VolumeManager program (vold) tend to
conflict with each other for control of the diskette drive. VolumeManager provides
automatic mounting services for peripheral devices attached to your system, such as
a diskette drive.
The conflict arises when VolumeManager support is enabled on your system and
you attempt to access a diskette drive through a SunPCi III window.In such
instances, an error message opens and the diskette access fails.
By default, when SunPCi III software is installed, VolumeManager support is
disabled for a diskette drive, and so most users do not encounter an issue. However,
it is possible to reenable VolumeManager on your system, and thus encounter the
issue at a later time.
If VolumeManager support for a diskette drive is re-enabled on your system, and
you encounter issues accessing a diskette drive through SunPCi III software, try
disabling VolumeManager and restarting the SunPCi III window. If the issue
persists, try disabling VolumeManager and rebooting your system.
