There may - I repeat, _may_ - be another complication. Recently (after the first of the year, I think) MS brought out a new (USB) IntelliMouse Explorer. It looks more or less like the old one, but works on a slightly different protocol. Basic mouse functions work under Windows ME with the old driver (the new driver knows only XP); under Xorg 6.9 some things are off by just a little bit. For example: trying to grab the corner of a window to resize it, I'm frequently presented with a window manager (fvwm2) menu. If, however, I grab about one-sixteenth of an inch above the corner suddenly the resize works. Robert Huff
