The obvious question is: do you have PS/2 mouse support enabled in your kernel? If you're using the 2.0 kernel, it's likely that you aren't loading the driver for the PS/2 mouse. Try doing a 'modprobe psaux' before you start X11. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
