I didn't select a window manager when I installed X. I don't remember seeing one in the default Xsession file, but an xterm was specified.
I'll check the mouse when I get to that machine again. During the install/setup process, I was given the chance to change the default for the mouse and "probe for my hardware" (I think that's what it said). I asnwered No, since that was the default. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll also need to look and see what window managers were installed. On Sun, 7 Oct 2001, Andrew Sharp wrote: > What window manager are you using?
