Give some more information. 1) What kind of mouse do you have? (PS/2 or serial) 2) What brand of mouse? 3) What is the setting in XF86Config? You can get this with: [prompt]$ grep -A 8 'Section "Pointer"' /etc/X11/XF86Config 4) What do you have for /dev/mouse? [prompt]$ ls -l /dev/mouse 5) Does your mouse work in console mode? Is gpm installed? Answer those and we can probably track down your problem. -Mitch
