Reload the OS? That's windows-world thinking. First, if you installed the gpm package, you'll need to run 'gpmconfig' as root, and tell gpm about your mouse. Then, assuming you have X, you'll have to re-run XF86Setup (stop X first by quitting your session and, if you have xdm running, doing: /etc/init.d/xdm stop ) Inside XF86Setup, say "yes" to use the old configuration and all you should have to do is pick your new mouse parameters. (be certain to read through all of the dialog boxes that come up there, and test the new mouse setting by "applying" the changes) You shouldn't even need to reboot! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
