I'm really not getting defensive here, *but* I've only had mouse problems when working on my brothers Windows box an NO problems with Linux in over 6 years. So, I don't think his problem is meaningful commentary on the state of Linux mouse support. FWIW... I remember being amazed that my first USB mouse "just worked" on Linux, way before we had 3 or 4 years of "this is the Year of the Linux Desktop." -- Gabriel Gunderson http://gundy.org /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
