I don't have a clear solution to your problem (as I prefer ps/2), but this page has a lot of info when it comes to setting up a mouse on your machine: http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/index.html Presented mainly for helping folks with wheelie mice, it has links to other sites as well. Hope this helps. -Otter Luiz Claudio Duarte wrote: > > I have been trying unsuccesfully to get a Logitech three-button serial > mouse to work with moused and X.
