hello. i had a similar problem when the cable was broken and sometimes wasn't able to send things to the pc. when moving or bending the cable works or prevents the mouse from working, this could be your problem too.
the spot i bent was right next to the case of the mouse where the buttons are. hope i could help. -- flo On Thu, 2003-06-12 at 15:10, Bruno Lustosa wrote: > Hello. > > I'm almost sure this is not a gentoo specific question, but I think > someone might happen to know something about it, so here it goes. > I'm running gentoo (1.4, up to date) at home, with no problems at all. > As of 3 days ago, mouse stopped working (both in windows and in linux), > so I figured it could be a mouse problem.
