Hi, -----Original Message----- From: Bin Zhao [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 1999 11:59 AM I have RedHat6.0 on IBM thinkpad i1451(co-exists with win98.) Evenything was fine until I plugged a Kensington external trackball to the mouse port. Now when I boot to Linux, it only recognize the external trackball. It ignores the internal trackpoint even the external trackball is not plugged in. But Win98 work fine with both. Is this some sort of broken PnP feature of RedHat? How do I let Linux know to use the internal trackpoint. Remember, it was working before and it still works for Win98(meaning Win98 will use the external trackball when it's there and use the internal one when the external is not plugged in.) Is this a Linux device thing or just XF86 thing? I notice /dev/mouse is a symlink to ps2aux but I am not sure what it looked like when the internal trackpoint was working though. It is normal for the trackpoint to 'disappear' when you plug in an external pointer, it has something to do with the current inability to share the ps2 port, it's a Linux thing. It should come back if you reinitialize the port after unplugging the trackball, however. Tim
