I had mistakenly followed the information that was in the xf86config file about the kind of mouse I have and used the MouseMan protocol, even though the mouse I had was using a PS/2 protocol under (yuck!) Win95. Anyway, someone (Gary Corcoran) prodded my memory and reminded me that I had much the similar setup at home on my Dell -- i.e. a Logitech PS/2 style mouse and the mouse port on the back. Anyway, I used the PS/2 protocol and home and it turns out to work JUST FINE here at work as well. Thanks to all those who responded. Next -- can anyone tell me what the heck a bus mouse is if what I have ain't it? Was there a special card or something that made a "bus mouse?" Later all, Matt --- Matthew A.
