Since I did not get any reply to my mail below I helped myself with putting the following 2 lines in /etc/profile:
gpm -k gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/mouse Now the Kesington mouse works correctly on the console and in X, however the Benq mouse which BTW is a wheel mouse still goes crazy in X. Is there a better way of getting the mice to work? Now I have first to open root to make the mouse work and when opening user I get the error message that I have no permission. ---------- Hi, I recently bought a new mouse since the old one is graying. Both ps2 mice behave properly under RH7.3 on the console and in X. In Slackware 8.0 each behaves differently. One, a Benq, functions correctly on the console, however, goes crazy in X, which then I have to abort with ctrl-alt-backspace. The other mouse, a Kensington, is the reverse. It does not work on the console, yet perfectly in X. When I have started X with the Kensington mouse in SW8.0 and then change to the Benq mouse that one will then work in X. Is there any explanation and could it be corrected and how?
