if its xinetd then look
in the /etc/xinitd.d in it you should find a file called wu-ftp open that and

calculating that, if you interested you can check out

Have you tried another mouse yet? Even a cheap one might do the trick to
isolate the problem to either hardware or software. Perhaps you could

hi. i had the same problem with photopaint / fonttastic.
the fonttastic RPM is in your photopaint files. there are 2 of them. a 2.0 and a 2.1
i think. for some reason yours, like mine, did not install. install the newer of the
RPMs. you may have to use the overwrite files option. i did.
