Yes, the mouse was switched to IRQ5 and it works now. At about the same time I've discovered what a rich keystroke environment x windows is. I was about to write about the bad keystroke accelerator support in x but that must have been kde because this fmvm2 or whatever rocks from a keystroke standpoint. Just hit alt-f2 and you can go anywhere it appears. That and alt-tab are a winning combination. So now that I have the mouse, it's not a necessity... is Linux synchronistic or what? <g>
Q: Could tty0 just as easily have been switched to IRQ5 in the configuration files and the mouse jumper left at IRQ4? If that method were used, what other problems might crop up assuming that tty0 (com1) is physically out of action (no cable running to the mobo) and only tty1 is being used? Now, is there a ppp configuration utility under x in Debian? I can't find anything other than pppconfig and with that can't figure out how to get back to the dns configuration screen for any connection when using that. TIA Andy
