I had some problems with a low quality mouse that wasn't performing exactly well. Strangely enough it worked much smoother with a 2.6 kernel. Maybe it has better sampling or something.

Missing info: I presume that's from your GPM config. Unless you're using GPM (I'm not) that is irrelevant. What version of Debian? What brand and model mouse? What X config? I'm using a Logitech optical USB mouse on Sarge and have no problem. Here is the relevant config: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Mouse Driver mouse Option SendCoreEventstrue Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option Buttons 5 # Option Emulate3Buttons true Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Some brands are likely to require a different protocol. This is from my Progeny box: Section InputDevice # If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then # this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you # also use USB mice at the same time. Identifier DevInputMice Driver mouse Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Emulate3Buttons no EndSection It works with my IBM USB keyboard with a PS/2 mouse plugged into it:-) Progeny created this setup with no USB mouse installed. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: problems with mouse and ghostview

What can happen with this mouse? Check if the numlock is activated. This can cause problems with programs that don't support the numlock key. Maybe the ServerNumLock option in /etc/X11/XF86Config can help you here: # Let the server do the NumLock processing.

I think that is better that download a kernel image. saul
