No I don't need the mouse, and my first thought was to get rid of all references to mouse devices in the XF86Config file. No joy I'm afraid. After doing a bit of googling I've been led to believe that the display card takes some responsibility for displaying the mouse directly and that forcing a "SWcursor" in the options of the display card might help. This also didn't work. I would have thought that this was a fairly straight forward thing to do - obviously I'm wrong. -- Kelvin _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
