Thank you. I am using 2.2.18, compiled from sources from kernel.org. I guess I'll work on it tonight.

The big question here is: which kernel are you using? If 2.2.18pre21 (the latest kernel-image in potato), then see: http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Franz.Sirl/inputppc.html That page will help you configure the device files, gpm and X to work with the new input layer, which blends all of the attached mice into a single device. But read it carefully, some things are not straightforward, such as the keycodes for button-2 and -3 emulation. If you're not using the 2.2.18pre21, I'm afraid I can't help you, maybe someone else. But because it simplifies a lot of things, I recommend trying to get it to work with the new input layer. HTH, -Adam P. Welcome to the best software in the world today cafe!
