Its interesting that this has come up so recently. I had a 3 button mouse systems ps/2 mouse that just stopped working last week, no matter if I set it up to use the ps/2 port, or put the hardware adapter on it and stuck it on ttyS1. Whenever I would start X or run gpm, it would freeze the console up. (no apparent keyboard input). Of course, I could ssh in and kill the process and that would unfreeze the console (though the keyboard sometimes got a little crazy...numlock not working or stuff like that). But I had never heard of mice dying like that, nor had I lost one in the last 5 or so years. What causes it? ciao Jonathan ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
