I think that means that you have the right modules loaded (it took psmouse in my case) The fact that the mouse locks to the top right corner usually means that you are using the wrong protocol. Try using /dev/input/mice and the imps2 protocol (iirc with 2.6 all mice are routed to /dev/input/mice and emulated as imps2) > Thanks for the help. > > Brian > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kent West [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 6:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: 2.6 upgrade > > Brian Corman wrote: > > > I upgraded to the testing 2.6 kernel, and my mouse is now frozen.
