Georg and Andy, Alas, sorry to come back with bad news, and if you're getting sick of this, I can't blame you, so am I. Anyway, tried your suggestions with the following results:
>Probably you can try to create a character device by >mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63 This produced the answer: "mknod /dev/input/mice: No such file or directory" Now I know I was trying to *create* a file, but that is the message I got. >If you have /dev/input/mice, you should configure your mouse with >gpmconfig so that it works on console. It tells me: "gpmconfig: command not found" locate gpmconfig gives me nothing man gpmconfig gives me: "no manual entry for gpmconfig" Am I doing something wrong here, or missing a point? Again, sorry to come back with more negative news and if you just want to forget about it, go ahead. I appreciate all your help so far and may just reign myself to upgrading. (If you do have ideas though, I would still be glad to hear them.) Thanks again, Mike
