Carl, and the group, I tried that at the time. The point is that it still works ok under windows, so the plug isn't the problem. ALSO the buttons work fine under Linux, its just that the pointer won't move across the screen in either direction. That's to say that the pointer 'flinches' as expected when I left click, and the screen menu appears when I right click. Never had the problem before. Oh, I should have mentioned: Red Hat 6.2, two button serial mouse If all else fails, I shall reformat and re-install, but that's a M$ solution, not the right one!!
