Here are a few things you can try: - use hid module instead of mouse module - try "cat /dev/usbmouse" and move the mouse, see if any output - see if gpm is really using the /dev/usbmouse or, if not, if /dev/mouse is a link to /dev/usbmouse - do all your tests as root, you'll avoid any problem that would be related to permissions - install a newer kernel like Ben's 2.2.17-preX, and read the changes at http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Franz.Sirl/inputppc.html and try to apply them - when installed the new kernel, mount /proc/bus/usb and cat /proc/bus/usb/devices to see if the mouse is recognized by the usb stack and the ohci driver. - take a look at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ to see if there is any problem reported with this very kind of mouse (although I doubt it, I've got 2 Logitech mouses, a Wingman Gaming Mouse and a Pilot Wheel Mouse working fine on my iMac) Hope this helps /Hadess http://hadess.net
