Just for more fun and confusion I have a little more info. First of all I should tell you that I am a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy and consequently I was issued (I bought it, but it was deducted from my pay and given to me like every other one of my classmates) my computer. I tried to do as you said with the gpm, however, it said that there was no such device as /dev/psaux. Also, on the back of my computer (all my documentation is photocopied by the company that mass produced these machines for us and does not include everything I'd like) the port that my mouse is plugged into is labeled COM1 not that that necessarily means anything.
Anyway if someone has anymore ideas or could help me, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Lewis, James M.

A bit more detail... crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 1 May 27 1997 /dev/psaux gpm is started thusly: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 While it appears to work ok, I don't use it much on that system. It's new and I haven't upgraded to frozen yet and the video card is not supported under x. I have done a little with vga16 at 640x480 but that leaves something to be desired (ie. it sucks). So maybe I haven't used it enough to make it fail. Let me know how it goes. jim ---------- From: Crispixbull[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 12:57 PM To: Lewis, James M. ; Linux Subject: RE: Can anyone help me? I tried that, I set the mouse protocol to PS/2, the device to psaux, and tried it with both 3 button emulation on and off. Do I need to do anything to the gpm (are those the right letters?) to set it up. Do I need to somewhere assign something to psaux. Any more ideas?

I have one of those. I have to use ps2 protocol and /dev/psaux for the device. The intellipoint thing does not work for me. If anyone has a way to make the wheel do something (even act as the middle button) I would like to hear about it... jim ---------- From: Crispixbull[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 11:36 AM To: Linux Cc: The recipient's address is unknown.

Can anyone give me a hand with this mouse thing, I just can't figure it out. -----Original Message----- From: Crispixbull [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 7:00 AM To: Linux Subject: Mouse Fun I am currently trying to set up X Windows and trying to set up my mouse. The mouse is Microsoft (it says so on the outside) however when I set it up in W95 the program in the lower right hand corner says Microsoft IntelliPoint. Right now I've tried to set it up with both IntelliPoint and Microsoft in X Windows, however it only responds intermittently. After I change the sample settings (usually between 50 and 75) and accept those settings occasionally the mouse will work perfectly, then without changing a thing I accept the settings again, and my mouse becomes unresponsive. Sometimes after just continuing to accept time and time again the mouse become responsive, other times I need to change some settings and reaccept to do that. Personally, I'm mystified. Can anyone help. One more piece of info on the mouse, according to Microsoft its a "Microsoft serial mouse with wheel".
