OK, it's time then for the stupid questions: You said the mouse was new. Is it rechargeable? Is it fully charged, or are the batteries new? Is this perhaps a "feature" of the mouse (the light goes off when it thinks it's idle) or does it have some other 'quirk' that requires it to have specific conditions under which it works properly (non-reflective desk, no other nearby magnetic devices, etc)? Certainly my optical mouse needs a mousepad (a dull, non-reflective one-- it doesn't work at all on my white desk, for example, as it's not only white (a bit too reflective), but also an "incompatible surface" in some way (too rough, I think). And so on, and so on... HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
