Any help is highly appreciated. Yours sincerely, John Lowenstein The scenario isn't entirely clear: you seem to be saying that you have loaded a new kernel (=Linux) and that this has stopped your trackball working, though it was working before under Linux. My first thought was that you didn't include PS/2 support when you built the kernel, but the fact that you plugged a different mouse in and it worked seems to contradict that. Have you confirmed that the trackball itself is not faulty? Please tell us what the trackball interface is (PS/2, serial, etc.) and whether it has worked before under Linux or not. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Missing Mouse Drivers
I have Logitech (serial) Trackball Model T-CC2-9F, which has worked in both rex and bo (also under Slackware) using the standared microsoft serial mouse driver (type=ms in the /etc/gpm.conf file). It also works with type=bare. I don't remember why I switched from bare to ms, but it did _not_ work with the Logitech (type=logi). I have no idea if the T-CA1 is similar, but it won't hurt to try.
