Look for the Section "Pointer". My simple, 3 button mouse works happily with the following - "Pointer" Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" BaudRate 1200 Emulate3Timeout 50 Resolution 100 EndSection hmm, that emulate3 probably doesn't belong there, think on. I understand the sugested device for mice are wrong. Try something like this, make sure you don't have multiple "pointer" sections, and, if it doesn't work, post your pointers section back here. (Both what it was, what it has become, and how it fails) Remember to keep a backup of your /etc/XF86Config (#cp /etc/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config.bak) And if it does work, could you sum up the thread? Tell us you mouse brand, and post the pointers section. This helps others with your problem. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
