Edit it by hand. Look for: Section "InputDevice" and change the line: Option "Protocol" "Foo" to Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" or even "ExplorerPS/2" and I would recommend changing the line: Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" to: Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" as Martin suggested, with or without killing gpm. I had this problems w/o even having gpm installed. Oh, and emulate 3 buttons you shouldn't need. I don't know if it's causing problems, but you *have* a third button: the wheel. BTW, what rat do you use? And what window manager? Not that the wm make much difference AFAIK, but I'm curios. -Hsoj
