The strangest thing about this is that I have exactly the same mouse, exactly the same adapter, exactly the same build (RC3 installed with / reformatted) and no problems! Suggestion I (clutching at straws) - do you use serial and parallel ports? I don't - everything is USB apart from keyboard and mouse - so turned them off, plus the unused onboard Ethernet connection, in the BIOS and doing so seemed to get rid of a few minor glitches. Suggestion II (ditto) - turn off gpm. A no-no, in some circumstances, appears to be changing the mouse connection (from USB to PS/2 or vice versa) when a build is active. This, in RC2, led to effects reported by me earlier (harddrake continually finding a "new" mouse, switching between /dev/psaux and /dev/usbmouse on alternate boots). Alastair
