I found the problem using my PS/2 type mouse. For the benefit of anyone who might have the same problem: If you have a PS/2 type mouse, and your mouse moves very erratically and moves mostly to the top of the screen, it's because you have the wrong protocol set in your XF86Config file. Change the protocol to PS/2, *even if your mouse is made by Microsoft*, and it should work fine. (I had taken the advice of the X config program too seriously when it suggested that most 2-button mice use the Microsoft protocol - and since it *is* made by Microsoft, it seemed like a reasonable choice at the time [of a first installation]...) I still haven't heard from anyone about my problem using a 3Com 3C579 EISA ethernet card - anyone have any experience getting one to work? Gary Corcoran gtc@aloft.att.com
