I just ran the Dell hardware tests on the mouse; sure enough, it works fine and all the tests pass. After quite a bit of experimentation I've managed to make it work by setting, in /boot/device.hints: hint.psm.0.flags="0x1200" which sets NOIDPROBE and IGNOREPORTERROR. Most likely when I did the mergemaster after the installworld, I neglected to preserve that bit of magic. Hopefully if anyone else hits this problem, this email will put them on the right track. It would be nice, though, if it were fixed at some point. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
