When I installed Mandrake 7.1 my Microsoft serial mouse was not detected. I was able to complete the install without it (upgraded from Mandrake 6). I tried running mouseconfig which brought up a GUI screen that seems to need a mouse to access (cruel). I checked the archives and will check /etc/X11/XF86Config because I don't think it had the pointer device: /dev/mouse. Any other ideas? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
