Hi John, Look what is written in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "InputDevice". There are at least 2 of them, one for keyboard and one for mouse. Here is an example from xorg.conf (openSUSE 10.3 Alpha 7): Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "USB Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Layout in 9.3 can be different, as Xorg server is developed in a meantime. The other place to look would be /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see is mouse recognized and loaded. For instance: grep mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives (II) LoadModule: "mouse" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//input/mouse_drv.so (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" ...etc. Third is command dmesg actually: dmesg | grep mouse which should give: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice A question for you: Why don't you upgrade to openSUSE 10.2? If your computer runs 9.3 it will run even better 10.2. That is my experience with an old box with 256 MB RAM and 500 MHz CPU. Second benefit is that 10.2 will have security updates for more than a year, while 9.3 is out of maintenace. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
