Can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file? .... or at least have a look at the Keyboard/Mouse entries. Mine look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
