It is a ps/2 mouse. I do have a wheel device on it. Does this make a difference? The mouse itself actually works. It is the cursor will only move along the bottom of the screen. I can go left and right but not vertical.
In reponse to a response, what is the gpm and how would this affect the cursor? I have a feeling it has something to do more with how the monitor is set up. I am using black box and it is the firsttime I have seen it. Basically, I see what looks like a samll title bar at the bottom of my screen. When I move the mouse, I see menus pop up but I can not click the options since they are beyond the limits of where the cursor can go. Should this title bar or slit(blackbox) be on the bottom? I am new to the X-window environment so I don't know. Thanks for all the help so far.
