Ciao, I think initially I had the same problem using M$ Intellimouse /w XFree86-4. I edit XF86Config, changing: Protocol "Sysmouse" to Protocol "auto" then everything works smoothly... btw I notice my XF86Config: Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" yours: /dev/sysmouse" anyway if Protocol "auto" doesn't work try run: XFree86 -configure this should make a XF86Config.new file in /root/, the mouse should work fine so just copy the mouse section to your actual /etc/XFree86Config Ciao At 16.25 16/03/2001 -0600, you wrote: >Greetings, >I am running 4.0-release.
