Re: [expert] Mystery Mouse / Kudzu Battle
Haha, that sounds very familiar. I have the same mouse and had the same problem. I think i finally had to tell it i had a MS intellimouse before it would recognize the middle button, and then when it would pop up and ask me if i wanted it to take some action b/c of the changes i just picked the shut up and stay the way you are option. Finally i shut down kudzu all together (at boot time) as i was finished with hardware swapping. I can always run it if i want to. By the way, it never told me that there was no mouse, but it would always tell me that i had changed the mouse, usually to a generic mouse. Who knows what was up with that. :-) j --- Ric Tibbetts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All I have an interesting conflict with my mouse, kudzu. It's a standard Logitech 3 button PS/2 Mouse. Nothing fancy.

RE: [expert] Mystery Mouse / Kudzu Battle
Yeah, that's what i did too, i set mine up with mouseconfig. Great utility, that.

Re: [expert] Mystery Mouse / Kudzu Battle
I am using the Logitech cordless Mouseman+. I had weird issues too, but now it works flawlessly. When installing, I had to select the Logitech mouse. Then all buttons would work but the mouse wheel would not work. I then cancelled out of the Logitech selection and selected the Generic PS/2 with wheel driver. At this point everything would work perfectly. If I chose the generic driver from the very start, all hell would break loose with the mouse. This is peculiar and certainly not a very scientific study, but it worked for me! :P --- John Wolford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Haha, that sounds very familiar.

In my case, the mouse works fine (all 3 buttons!), but Kudzu insisted on messing with it. I finally turned kudzu off at boot time. Life is better now. This round of comments has answered my question though. At this point, I'll assume that kudzu is a bit schizophrenic, since others are having exactly the same problem. :) Thanks to all who answered.

RE: [expert] Mystery Mouse / Kudzu Battle
Ric, I recently had a similar problem with my new IBM PS/2 2 button mouse, and Kudzu occasionally behaved weird with my previous M$ 2 button serial mouse. I eventually gave up on Kudzu and ran mouseconfig from a terminal. This at least saw the mouse, but still no mouse action.
