AFAIK, /dev/input/mouse* only works for USB mice in 2.4.* kernels. PS2 mouse users have to make do with /dev/misc/psaux. And, unfortunately, only one program can read from the device at a time. You'll probably have to use X calls to watch the mouse's state. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
