Unfortunately due to fuzzy thinking and fumble fingers, I no longer have the version that caused the problem, so I cannot guess what the change was that caused the problem. However the Mouse configuration entries were the same between the two!! I had this problem. Got it fixed by simple deleting /lib/modules/*..*/usbmouse.o (and restarted X) This module was getting loaded by the system, but when it was present the mouse didn't work right. I think I have a different mouse, (Microsoft Wireless USB Intellimouse Explorer 7 button wheelmouse) I tried gobs of stuff only thing that worked was getting rid of usbmouse.o (and then restarted X). -Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've just subscribed. Pardon me for not having time to look up previous posts, but here is what I have in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on a Debian stable: -- Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device/dev/psaux Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Mouse Driver mouse Option SendCoreEventstrue Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ImPS/2 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Section ServerLayout [...] InputDevice Configured Mouse InputDevice Generic Mouse EndSection -- I've never bothered to check if one of these entries is superfluous. Works like a charme. Mouse is a crossing myself M$ IntelliMouse. -- Bye, Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks. I suppose I was being a bit wet about that little problem because I didn't care much -- truth is I never used a wheel mouse at all before. Still, it is quite neat. Might get to quite like it.
