Sorry for the dups. I am having trouble with gmail. My sincere thanks to Florian and jlbelmonte . I did what both of you suggested. I did add the modules and change the path in XF86Config to /dev/input/mice after testing the device with hd as Florian suggested. Now it works and I am a happy camper. Thanks again.
Just a side note. I am amazed how well Sarge unstable runs on this machine which was made in 1997 and has a PentiumII with 384MB of RAM. It still boots relatively fast and and for most development work (emacs, ruby, rails) it is fast enough. -bakki PS: From gmail the std reply button does not send the reply to the list! I had to copy it in manually. I have not had this happen in other lists. Does this list not have a reply to set to the list?
