If you're using gpm, that might complicate things (although I prefer to use it, and can actually make troubleshooting easier as you can take X out of the picture somewhat). So, first question: are you using gpm? Secondly, you might try using the "Intellimouse" protocol rather than "ImPS/2". You might also want to post the relevant sections of gpm.conf and XF86Config-4. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
