i hadn't. now i did (just manually edited /etc/X11/XF86Config ; was that the right way?), and the mouse is great. but i have no idea why it helped -- what does /dev/psaux have to do with /dev/mouse, which appears just to be /dev/gpmdata? and why should i have specified *it* instead of /dev/gpmdata? why would specifying the latter cause it to fuck up as it did? > if that doesn't work, > try ImPS/2, same port. rather, this is what i meant: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" should that be PS/2 for any reason? it's working as is, and also works with that line as "PS/2". </nori> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori/jnl/daily.html
