One of the few things I really do not like in Linux is the mouse interface. I hope this will be fixed soon, but for now there are at least two different mouse drivers. One is the driver used by the X interface, configured with xf86config or XF86Setup; the other is used by console programs, called gpm and configured with gpmconf -- or something like that. Which of them you tried? Leandro Guimaraens Faria Corcete Dutra Amdocs Brasil Ltda
