You need to find out what kind of mouse it is, since your laptop is modern i bet it is a PS/2 mouse, and you are probably using the wrong protocol which makes it jumpy, use XF86Setup, and play around with the options in the mouse screen, But it may also be a serial mouse. For serial mice (on port ttyS#) the usual protocol is the Microsoft protocol, for ps/2 there are tons of different protocols its really much more mouse specific, but, play till you can get it working, OR play till you have exausted all the options in XF86Setup. Warning: doing this may lock your computer up, don't be alarmed if it hangs, just reboot and try again. Sometimes hardware doesn't like being told it is something it isn't. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 2:01pm up 109 days, 1:44, 3 users, load average: 1.68, 1.70, 1.65
