I tried the cuaa1 device and it worked, but now X is broken. :-( If I Altfn to the X screen or launch xdm while moused is running, the screen flicks between graphics and text about 4 times, then returns to the text screen, leaving a dead xdm and no other X processes.

Moused doesn't. Worth "teaching" it? M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 Finger mark@grondar.za for PGP key
