Some 6 months ago, i was browsing the web.. bored as hell, and ended up (don't ask me how) in Microsoft's site, reading up on some kind of 'mobility quiz' and XP on laptops... This mobility quiz offered an optical mouse for each and every one that answered correctly to a given number of questions.. can't remember how many... just for the heck of it, i took the quiz, passed it without even thinking about it, and right then i remembered to read the 'terms and conditions': "For USA residents only". "Dang! oh well.." I quickly forgot about it. Surprisingly, a couple of weeks ago, a scary package with a "From: Redmond, Washington" label arrives, they sent me the freaking mouse after all. With a letter congratulating me for winning the quiz, and a BIG seal on the box: "THE MICROSOFT ADVANTAGE: HARDWARE-SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY DESIGNED FOR WINDOWS XP" "Ok" i thought. "This is never going to work with Linux." it was a small mouse for notebooks, optical, USB cord, wheel, 3 buttons, kinda cute 'n all... So, i plugged the little thing in, fired up mousedrake, which detected it at once. I just clicked OK, restarted my X session, and it worked perfectly. Wheel, all buttons, everything. I'm actually happy with it... Damian
