If you have a graphical login, hit CONTROL-ALT-F2 or CONTROL-ALT-BACKSPACE - you'll get to a text login. Now, login. After login, type mouseconfig (if that doesn't bring up the config util, you can try either /sbin/mouseconfig or /usr/sbin/mouseconfig) Follow the steps as presented - making SURE you're choosing either the Logitech mouse that matches the one yer using, or the closest match to the USB version you've got. After that - unless you get errors - either restart by typing reboot, or power off by typing poweroff...THAT should do ya...lemme know what happens Ram!

I think mouseconfig is for RH, in MDK its called mousedrake and you need to su to root which means in a terminal type: su enter enter_root_password enter now you can run mousedrake, just type mousedrake enter Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
