It's definitely not X or anything X-related, cat'ing the device inside or outside of X (with X not even running) produces the same results. I did some googling after my last post and it seems that there have been some kernel updates in the 2.5 branch related to the Logitech MX series. So I guess it's time to try a 2.6 kernel (it's running 2.4.20 currently). <OT> As I mentioned previously, I've been having some hardware "issues" which have caused very mysterious problems with regard to certain kernels not working, but I now know the problem, which is explained here: http://forums.2cpu.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28746 A couple of the pins on my ATX connector turned out to be melted and very dark brown/black. I plan on performing surgery on the board sometime today, and hopefully then a 2.6 kernel will actually boot and not freeze. :) </OT> -- Nick Welch aka mackstann | mack @ incise.org | http://incise.org Q: Do you know what the death rate around here is?
