I would try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and when it asks about your mouse, tell it /dev/input/mice for the device (rather than the default, which is /dev/psaux). This will also prompt you for a bunch more info on your X configuration, and will overwrite any existing config (after asking, of course), so use it with caution. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
