This is the net result of a few broken behaviours in X, though. X should not mandate the use of a mouse. With a 2.6 kernel, you should set your mouse device to /dev/input/mice. This device should exist even if there are no mice in the system (just not give out any events, obviously). I think right now it doesn't. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ FD35 0B0A C6DD 5D91 DB7A 83D1 168B 4E71 7032 F238 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
