Give - ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse a try. If you mean by regular a ps/2 mouse. You don't even need the link really. Make sure "Section "Pointer" in your /etc/Xll/XF86config file has the correct "protocol" and "device." gpm is a console mouse driver and sometimes conflicts with the mouse in X. I wouldn't mess with that until you have your mouse working in X. hth, kent
