Thanks to everyone that replied! The key for me was hearing about "gpm". I can't recall all the combinations I tried last night, but I was successful setting up the mouse to work with both X and the console. After configuring gpm for the console, I changed the Pointer declaration in XF86Config to use ttyS0, but I had to rename /dev/gpmdata for X to listen to the serial port. Since I'm going to use xdm for now, I suppose the major loss to me is that I can't triple-click to reboot my machine. I'm sure that a uniform mouse device for X & console must be a wonderful thing, but I alas must go without, for now. And besides, I just discovered that my keyboard's acting weird. It never ends. (But at least it is pretty.) ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://www.dhp.com/~mithras 716-586-0020 work, 716-256-2484 home, 716-233-3159 cell 174 Henrietta St. #2 / Rochester, NY 14620
