hi there. i had a bitch of a time trying to get X to see the mouse. i/m using a Dell aswell with a logitech ps/2 mouse. just the other day i installed the gpm package and reinstalled X. well hay!! it now sees the mouse. Section "Pointer" Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" this now what i use in the XF86Config file. and i never had to recompile the kernel. hope this helps -Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
