Here's an update on my last: I rebooted to windoze, and the mouse didn't work there either. It looks like some kind of USB glitch. Plugging into a different USB port fixed it in Windoze, and half-fixed it in X: it now moves, but very, very sluggishly, and also keeps jumping to the side of the screen for no apparent reason. The mouse acceleration settings don't make any difference. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
