Check that you have /dev/mouse linked to /dev/psaux. (do ls -l /dev/mouse, the end of the output should be /dev/mouse -> /dev/psaux) If it says that there is no such file do as root ln -s psaux /dev/mouse Its a common problem I ran into. > Cheers, > > Nick. > > -- > Debian testing/unstable > Linux twofish 2.6.0-test3-looxt93c2 i686 GNU/Linux > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
